Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2019

[salviDec2017]

Also wondering if someone can help me understand how do I check if my status as sponsor has been approved? will it be in the same account or do I as sponsor need to create a separate account?

Yes you have to do seperate biometric from PR application. it mentioned on CIC website. Visitor visa one does not work. You will have 30 days to do the Bio. Fortunately Bio can be done within canada now at ServiceCanada location i.e effective December 3.

You will received a letter via email from CPC missisauga that you have been approved as sponsor and you file is moved to local VO.

HI
happy new year to everyone.
My mother in law is in Canada since march 2019,just received a letter saying:
1) Police Certificates (Multiple): Please provide a copy of your original police certificate from India and any other country where you have resided for a period of six months or longer since the age of 18. Instructions to obtain Police Certificates can be found on our website: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/security/police-cert/index.asp. This must be received at this office by: 2020/02/01

2)Proof of Relationship: Document proving your relationship with your inviter/family member. As proof of relationship to the principal applicant, please provide your voter ID card, Aadhaar card and old school records (Fifth class, Middle standard and Matriculation/secondary school certificate). NOTE: Affidavits are not acceptable as proof of relationship. This must be received at this office by: 2020/02/01

1) How do i get PCC from India when she is already in Canada?
2)what can we submit for proving relationship for mother

For PCC- try BLS center, please confirm by calling them (I got my PCC when I applied for my PR)
For relationship- I submitted the birth certificate (translated in English) and Copy of Indian passport pages showing my Mother's name. If don't have either you can get a relationship affidavit done in India.

You can log into ECAS by putting sponsors information. Also, CIC sends you a document saying that your application is approved.

My mother has visited a couple of west african countries (Nigeria and Benin) multiple times since my dad was working there. But she never stayed more than 6 months consecutively. I hope she doesn't have to provide PCCs for these countries correct?

Hi
Thanks for sharing.
But are you guys applying for extension while they are in canada (visitor record) or renewal of visitor visa from home (i.e. visit visa is expiring soon)?
in case of renewal of visit visa what are the chances? any idea ..

I applied for visitor record to extend their stay for another 3 months so they could wait for COPR and complete their landing here in Canada.

I haven't come across any post in this forum where people need to renew visitor visa for parents while PR in progress to help you with relevant info, but my guess is that you'd face the same challenges as applying for visitor visa when spousal sponsorship in progress. As there is an explicit intention to immigrate with PR application in progress, you probably need to prove much stronger ties to home country (compared to visitor visa without PR application). You might also want to highlight your parents' eligibility for PR approval (medical passed, clean PCC etc.) to show that it's in their interest to comply with visa terms and not jeopardize their good chance of being approved for PR down the road.

Hi all,
Please add me as a new line entry.
Courier delivered application June 28th, so I may be one of the last applicants in.
No AOR or ECAS yet.
I did contact IRCC via webform out of paranoia that I had botched things up, but they did respond on 12/31/2019 stating that I am still pending processing (hence no AOR), but still within processing times. So i think that means i'm still in the queue and haven't missed the ship.

Sponsored people: Parents
Parents' Country of Citizenship: Botswana
Province: ON
Invitation to Apply Received: Apr 24, 2019

Hi! How long it will take for webform responds?

Hi how did you get your mother’s medical and biometrics done . My parents are also in canada and we got New Delhi visa office . Just wondering how did u get their medical and biometrics done and how did u sent the passport?

Biometrics were done in the Service Canada office or you can say Canada passport office. Medicals were also done in Mississauga. you need to go to the panel physician listed in the IME request letter.

i have not received PPR yet
