Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2019

[laxsun]

Hello Moderator

RAIHIKER Line 851,

Can you please update the sheet with following status:

Biometrics Request Date was August 9, 2021 and Completion Date August 17, 2021

Medical Request Date was August 13, 2021 and Medical Results Date September 6, 2021.


Just a question, I have asked my Parents to go ahead and get the Police Clearance Certificate. Will CIC be requesting it get it done ? Should I wait for that ?


Thanks.

Your information is updated in the tracker.

Can you please check your "in process" date from the ecas.

Can you post the date of SA letter here.

Hi everyone,
hope all are doing well.

I am looking for advise in my parents case.

1. my parents are waiting for “medical passed” since Nov 2019. Currently not sure if the case is in Mississauga or New Delhi or Ottawa.
2. All necessary documents are already submitted.
3. parents are still in India waiting to hear the decision
4. parents have visitor visa, which will expire in Jan 2022.

When I enquired I get a defaulted message ”Due to COVID there is a delay in decision making… “

since there is no traction on the case, after the direct flight restriction is lifted I am thinking to bring my parents here sometime late November before the visa expires. And later will apply for visa renewal from Canada. Or at least can let IRCC know that parents are in Canada and they can process the file quicker.

i really appreciate if some of your thoughts/inputs are shared, if you were in my situation.

looking forward for responses. TIA.

how did they send/recived the passports and how long it took after pre arrival letter. thanks

They send passports via VFS Global. My parents received pre-arrival letter with medical & pcc in March 2021 & then received passport request on Aug 20.

Hi @aumraiya We also received Biometrics for my mother where the letter was dated Sep 1 2021 but on CIC login it showed that it was sent on Nov 5 2020.
Basically in Nov 2020 that was supposed to be sent but IRCC decided to exempt people from Biometrics as all centers were closed.
However, now centers are open and they have requested biometrics for files that arent processed yet.
So in conclusion, you can give your biometrics now. Our letter says within 30 days so I would assume thats what is the normal timeline.
Hope this helps

Thank you, this helps !

 

[aumraiya]

You need biometrics requisition letter with bar codes to do biometrics. You can call Service Canada if you can do in the old letter.

Thanks for the response, will contact them

thats right. you will get the upload section when you move ahead!

Hi, sorry for bugging you again.

There is a field in the webform named 'Consultant ICCRC number', do you know if we have to fill this out? This is not my UCI number, is it?

Many thanks again

Just wondering was there a reason for the second medical? Also, after submitting the first medical, did you see "medical exam passed" in the myCIC account? My parents completed their medicals and it's not showing in the system as "passed medical exam". I just wanted to check if this means that they have passed the medical exam, or that the medical exam results have been uploaded.

many thanks and congratulations again

leave it blank

So, we are in same boat Jittu, we sent pp last week, should be getting it back anytime now.
Correct, i also thought copr is given upon landing. But i guess covid changed everything.
its good though, copr will help with travel if they have travel through Europe and have to obtain transit visa for testing and staying over.

There is no stamp or signature from immigration officer on COPR, so I believe it s not valid until they land in Canada.

 

[jittujobyjohn_1985]

my parents are valid til their medical expired next year.

mine is Valid from Sept 2021 to July 2022 (Medical expiry)

@laxsun @robertp
Got passport request today

Does Anybody know how many days it takes for Delhi office to return stamped passport in current situation, from Ahmedabad.
We are our parents to travel as my wife is expecting in first week of October.

With only 20 - 25 days left for due date, its very confusing (considering direct flights opens on 21st) what to do next

Option 1, send their passport through VFS (not sure how many days it will take it to come back) and once its back book their ticker, which may push their arrival after due date

Option 2, book ticket after September 21st and come here on visitor (hopefully visitors are allowed after 21st), then inform CIC about address change and complete landing virtually

Option 1 may push their arrival and for Option 2 I am not sure if there will be some different treatment for visitors, also need to inform CIC about change

Any help would be appreciated.

Delhi IRCC- took 2 weeks (To sent and receive from Kerala)
Tickets costs are high, but try India-AbuDhabi-Canada. They have rapid PCR test available at AbuDhabi airport (50 USD) if needed.
We received PPR request on August 26
VFS webform filled and payment done on August 26
AWB # Received on August 26
(BlueDart) passports picked-up on August 27 and Delhi VFS received package on Sept 1
Application approved on Sept 9th
Passports Received back on Sept 13th.
