Hello everyone,
I’ve a quick question and appreciate a reply.
My parents file is still in process and a few weeks ago my work contract ended.
If I apply for the COVID-19 Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) then will it have any effect on my current sponsorship Or on my parents file?
Also, I called CIC a few weeks ago to check the status of my parents file they said it’s been approved and will send official approval letter once they are clear about the COVID-19 situation regarding files in process, they said my parents file is technically still in process although it’s approved. Has anyone else heard something similar from CIC?
I look forward to hearing from you guys.
Thank you!
“ If you collect the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB), you're still eligible to sponsor your spouse, parent, grandparent, child or other relative as long as you meet all the requirements to be a sponsor. CERB isn't considered social assistance. Collecting CERB won't make you ineligible to sponsor”
This is from the govt website.
They are right, till the time the process is complete and your parents have landed, the application will still be called “in process”. They become a PR only when the landing is done and that is when things come to an end.
I have a question. When you login to my cic, does it show approved? If not what does it say?
