Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2019

[smartshady]

Hi Neha, Have you figured it out what needs to be done if grandparent DOB is unknown?

If you have generic idea of which year they were born you will be putting their birthdate as 1 Jan "year" and explain in the letter that you are not sure abt exact date. I have done that few times for PR applications for me and my family and it always worked.

Hello, 14 May 2019 applicant here. So my parents got the remedical in July this year which was cleared in mid-September. They got the medical survilence notice next day and since they are already here on visitor visa, we received the letter from medical clinic for the checkup related to medical survilence.

I have checked the forum, in almost all the cases, these tests are done after applicant lands as a Permanent resident here. But in our case the application is still in process, so we don't have health card. How does it work then? I need to pay for this medical survilence?

What this surveillance notice related to TB testing?

Thanks for the response. Did you ever face problems with visitor visa for them?
Thanks,

No, he didn't have any problem while applying for visitor visa. But he retired long time back in the 90's.

Hi my sponsorship got approved and I am supposed to send all docs in gmail and total size can't be more than 5MB (All files included). I have more than 10 docs and my file size is way more than 5 MB. I tried Adobe and SmallPDF. Any other options?

you can send it in two batches

You can book the appointment for Biometric request on following link https://www.vfsglobal.ca/IRCC-AppointmentWave1/Account/RegisteredLogin
I was able to rebook today for Oct 12 (Chandigarh) previously it was booked for Dec 09 since there was nothing available prior to that. But I received the email from VFS on Oct 2nd that they added additional spots starting October, so I was able to reschedule earlier. You may need to try every day since it's pretty busy.

Thanks Kaur. No spots available at bangalore location until June 2022 .
Also, any other form to be filled for Permanent Resident Visa ??

Invitation mentions to submit the following docs in single package:
1. Invitation Letter Copy
2. Original Passport / Photo Copy
3. 2 Photos
4. Height and eye Color

 

[dinesh.kumar]

YOu can just add a note when you submit the passport stating the height and eye color. It is a simple letter with her name, application ID and responses to what they have asked for. Good luck!

Tracy,
do we need to fill IRCC visa forms or just list of docs mentioned in request letter?

Tracy,

Just a cover letter when submitting the passports.

Hello,
If you are from Ontario, you don't need to wait for 90 days in order to get a health card. I confirmed with health Ontario, they have waived off this requirement for now.

Thanks, I am in BC. I know it is so odd to wait for 90days. Way to go Ontario!!

MINE IS TAKE 2 DAYS.

Exactly, for one of my friend also it took about 2 days. I am not sure why they are taking longer, the only thing that could be a problem with pictures because I used a mobile phone for pictures.
