Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2019

[Rosharah]

Hi guys,

My parents were being asked to provide some additional documents. We didn’t use E-case to upload the documents as we wanted to add some explanation and there was no place for it in E-case. We have emailed the documents. Do you think it’s better to add the explanations to one of the PDFs and upload them on E-case as well? Any suggestion?

after sending an email to cic with additional documents - is there a way to confirm reception?

What email address you used to send additional documents? I want to do the same for my Notice of assessment.

Has anyone's parent brought their pets with them to Canada? my parents will be bringing their Dog with them from India, any idea what the process is like with regards to Air Ticket and at immigration in India & Canada?

Just a suggestion, landing procedure at Kingston is way better than Niagara. They work 24 hours and are open on weekends as well.

Kingston is approx 130kms extra drive from where I live. Rainbow Bridge or Peace Bridge are the nearest (approx 180km).

Any suggestions why they send me this reply on gcsm notes inquiry?

I wish to inform you that, in accordance with the Privacy Act, an extension of 30 days beyond the statutory 30 day limit is necessary to process your request. This extension is required in order to undertake consultations that are necessary to comply with the request that cannot reasonably be completed within the original time limit.

Considering the extension, your request is now due on May 8, 2020.

Not ecas, through mycic. And email is fine as not everyone can upload docs via.mycic (agent have to activate it)

Kingston is approx 130kms extra drive from where I live. Rainbow Bridge or Peace Bridge are the nearest (approx 180km).

I understand, just saying because when I wanted to flagpole in my case, I also drove to Kingston to get it done. Reason being - Through a forum only, I figured out that for Niagara:
1. You have to go really early to get it done, sometimes they do not even entertain you if there are so many people, they send everyone back.
2. They work only limited hours, that too 1-3 weekdays. They do not work on weekends, so you might need to take a day off from work.
3. I have heard of cases where someone goes there for at least 2-3 times for flagpole, but they come back unsuccessful without a strong reason.

Rest, it all depends on what your preferences are, and your convenience.

Good luck

As long as you go during the weekdays... Niagara is never a problem
