Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2019

[teaquad]

Hi all In IMM5768 Question 14 for the employment history section do we include parents in the family size? Or just my immediate family?

My parents did medical on 11th Feb; didn't hear anything back from Dr.'s office and there are no updates on the portal either.

it seems like they will compare the initial X-Ray and the latest X-Ray.

IME for PNP and family class sponsorship( PGP) are different procedure where it's required upfront and PGP it's instructions from IRCC. Even for supervisa IME is upfront only. You can't change the process of IRCC. It's your wish if you want medical to be done and if doctor do it to make some money but the reports can't go to the file in process under PGP.

For express entry u do medical along with your submission. For PNP yes you wait for IRCC to send you medical request but nowadays with covid many are doing upfront medical (I myself did upfront medical for PNP long time back).

I will confirm with the clinic here in ottawa for PGP.

Hi Everyone,

Doubt, does if someone applies super visa, can't they apply for parents sponsorship...

Thanks for your time.

Short answer Yes, if you meet the minimum income requirement.
1-year Income for SuperVIsa
3 years Income for Parents sponsorship.

If you do medical and accepted or not by IRCC then I request you to please update on this group. It will be of great help for other applicants also.

do we need to submit expired passports with the current passport in the passport submission request?

 

[Rhill]

Only valid passports

Well I just called one of the clinic in Ottawa and I asked if they do upfront medical? they said we do upfront medical for everyone, I asked if I don't have Medical request or IME from IRCC then? they said if you have UCI number you are good. He added medical is valid for 12 months and we will give you a proof that we did your medical and once the results are ready the doctor will submit it through eMedical system.

Electronic immigration medical examination (eMedical)
Where technologically feasible, Panel Physicians complete the immigration medical examination and enter results into the eMedical system. These results are transferred to GCMS for processing.

!. Visitor Visa are not issued beyond the expiry date of passports in Canada. Check the expiry date on the counterfoil. This eliminates your first concern.

2. It is recommended that you need minimum validity of 6 months of passport to travel. AS you have mentioned 7 months they are good to travel to Canada. Once they are here they can stay up to 6 months (on a normal visitor Visa ) and up to 2 years (with Super Visa for parents). Once they are here you can renew their passports and once they are near to expiry of 6 months/2 years you can apply for an extension.

3. They will only get an extension in Canada with a new passport. To get a Visa (counterfoil) they need to apply for that in their country of residence and with the currents situation of Covid-19, there is no specific timeline.

Hope this helps!

Hi, Sorry to bother but we're in the same situation. My parents are here in Canada with Tourist Visa, their passports and visas will expire this year, If we can renew their passports inside Canada, can we extend their stay here? Are they going to issue a new Visa on the new passports while they are here?


Thanks in advance for your help.
