Hi Guys,

I am sponsoring my mother and she received the biometrics request last week. Now the problem is there is no biometric collection center or panel physician in the city where she currently lives. She has to travel to another state to get both of these done. I am still waiting for the medical request so that she can get both of these done together without traveling twice. I don't want to wait too long since they need biometric results within 30 days. Should I write to CIC to get the medical request or wait? Any help is appreciated!

i was on the same boat.. but CPC-M sent us the medical request next day so luckily my parents had to travel only once for both...make sure to get the appointment done before making any travel plans...

Hi Guys,

My parents are in India, and their passports are expiring by December 2020.

They have not been requested for IME/Bio-metrics/PCC yet.

I received my application number on Oct 11. My application was received in Ottawa office on June 13.

Could you please advise what is the good time for time to renew their passports ?

Thanks.

Congratulations Rob
We just filled in Appendix A by hand, photocopied the photo pages of our passports and put them all in an envelope with the 2 photos and sent them to Ottawa.
Road trip to Coutts in a couple of weeks?
Thank you and yes, that's the plan

Flag poled at Coutts border crossing yesterday. Almost all done now Dad going to get SIN apply & for health card etc today.
Most likely will not be on here too much more. Thanks & good luck to everyone on this forum.
If anyone is planning to flag pole at Coutts especially @robreeves @fjle here is an excellent guide to the very simple process, which i highly recommend no need for any finger printing or form filling US side, for our parents or grandparents.

Thank you @richjo , really happy your father and yourself. Best of luck in both of your future endeavours
