Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2019

[raghav30389]

My dad received an email today asking for my proof of relationship to him (principal applicant) i.e. my voter ID, Aadhar card, school certificates. It also mentions that affidavits will not be accepted. While I did send my birth certificate in my initial application, my birth certificate does not have my name (they didn't name me as soon as I was born) so may be that is why they sent this letter. Either that or they just did not look at my birth certificate. 2 questions:

• While I have Aadhar card and school certificates from India, I don't have voter ID. The wording on the letter suggests they need all of them. I hope I can just send a letter explaining this?
• Since this email was sent to my dad and not me, should my dad email the requested docs or can I send it?

Many Thanks

For those who's parent's flagpoled, did you accompany your parents during the flagpole or did you just send them on through by themselves??

You should accompany them...who knows what helps they might need

Hi. My documents for Parents Sponsorship reached Ottawa on Jun 25, 2019. Since then, no update, no AOR. Anyone else in the same boat?

- Send whatever you have with an explanation letter (when was your name registered? no doc for that?)
- If you are rep, you can also send it

This is happening to many Indian nationals I noticed and apparently there are names mis-matched in the documents which resulted this.

I was just curious as to whether or not the border agents allow you to accompany them during the flagpole process? The US admin refusal doesn't affect your future travels back into the US, does it?

[gerjit2019]

My parents recently received biometric requests recently, does this mean my sponsorship has been approved ?or is this a positive sign and there my be additional request of information. Im Still waiting on medical exam but after that will i need to provide more information?

No Application is still in-process. Wait for DM for PA and then PPR. How long it will take to ask for passport, varies and depends on the VO........your pre-arrival letter is good news..

Hello, I got an update today saying that I have met the requirements for eligibility as a sponsor and my parents application for Permanent Residence will be forwarded to my country of origin for further processing. My parents are on a super visa and they are staying with me in Canada. Any idea if they will have to leave Canada for the 1) Biometric 2) Medical Exam and 3) PPR? or can they do it from Canada? not sure who else on here in the same boat where his/her parents are on a Super Visa and already in Canada.

 

[shine1429]

@aarit and @shine1429

There can be request of additional information at any part. Like in my case 2 times they asked for additional information. But yes receiving biometrics means sponsorship approved. you should see DM on sponsor tomorrow in ECAS.
