I think because Canada is trying to restrict travel into the country they have slowed down the process further in all the different stages. I have send my mom's passport for stamping to New Delhi and has been with them since Jan 25. Upon enquiry they respond that due to COVID they are short staffed. To be honest it does not make any sense to me. I know most of us are getting frustrated, but I am April 30th submission and I don't think anyone applied as early as me is still waiting for the process to complete. Hang in there guys because there is nothing much we can do :) Can't wait to get off this roller-coaster ride!!!

A question regarding potential medical inadmissibility for those who might know or can advise.
My parents had their medicals done In November 2020. It seems that mom ( prinicipal applicant was ok . Father( who has numerous medical concerns , BP , diabetes , Cardiac - but overall stable) ) needed further blood test for TB and then most recently was told to see a nephrologist as his kidney function was not good .
His kidney issues have worsened since last year and so its not looking good. - we are still awaiting the specialist report .
I have family in the medical and legal field.
Both have suggested talking to an immigration lawyer at this point - though I am not sure if its even worth it ? As i understand once you are declined there is not much one can do .

Any thoughts , suggestions ?

Much appreciated
Sorry to hear this and another situation that shows a lack of empathy from the immigration system here. The ageing population continues to only have their issues worsened and immigration delays bring it closer to become reasons to further delay or deny it. I am very sorry to hear this and agree to consult with an immigration lawyer, don't be disheartened just now and fight till you can. All the best and wish we all get reunited with our loved ones!

I got the same letter back Dec. 4, 2020 and submitted the updated forms Dec 7 . 3 months later, we still heard nothing. My parents medicals are expiring in 2 days. is your application with CPC-M too?
My file is in London and they have been extremely SLOW since the pandemic.
Our medicals expired and that line vanished Feb 21st.
Got pre-arrival letter on Feb12th.
Submitted all of the additional documentation above on March 4th (Today).

Not sure if they will also stop responding after this. Our 2 year mark since we applied is May 13th, 2021. Hoping you hear back soon and your medical gets extended.

Yes, my parents are from Vietnam. Their application has been processed at Singapore office the whole time since I got sponsor approval letter. I think the processing was delayed due to COVID-19 and just resumed recently.

I wonder if by any chance my parents get PR letter anytime soon, are they able to do the landing in Canada by air? Did Canada open the border again for PR landing (by air)?

Thanks!
yes, of course your parents can land, they will need to pay $2000 each for 3 days quarantine at a hotel.

Hello Guys,
My parents got their copr in October 2020 and they arrived in canada in January 2021. We have applied for their pr card. They have received their health card and sin#. But today I received email stating to send passports to VFS office. So I am confused why are they asking for passports after issuing copr already.
Please advise if someone has been in this situation what should we do or do we call cic for further information.
Thank you.
