Hello everyone

I'm May 9 applicant and my LVO is Ankara. I received pre-arrival service letter on Sep. 30. Based on MyCIC account BG check has not started yet!
  • Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check.
I'm so upset as feel like I'm waiting in a lineup and every one behind me is being called up but my application is stuck for no reason! I have written several emails to Ankara asking them to process my application and in my last three emails I got the following response which is strange! I looked it up and it seems this is one of the Ankara's template response emails but they mainly use it for spousal sponsorship.

Please be advised that this file has been preliminarily assessed and is currently in the queue for the secondary review.

I wonder if anyone here has received anything like this from LVO and what does it mean?! My parents passed Medical on Feb. 1 and submitted PCC, travel history, etc in June.

Thanks!

hi Can you help me with my question? I am submitting additional documents for my parents with PCC due 25th. They are still in India, but I am trying to figure out that would they need to be India until the final decision is made or they can come to Canada after 25th using the multientry visa they have?
they can come to canada using their visa.

Hi - may I have your help please.

I received an email from Mississauga center saying their initial review shows that my parents' passport expired and asked them to send a copy of their new passport.

Could someone please let me know:
1) what is the status of their application? My CIC account shows their 2nd medical passed. I have provided PCC last year, but eService still show "in process" now.
2) if the next step is to send in their passports for visa, will that be sent to somewhere in Canada, or a visa office in China where my parents currently live? want to plan ahead if they need to mail the passport to Canada.

Many thanks.
they would have to do it in the country they live in. In this case, its china

Hi all,
I am extremely confused with the income requirements to sponsor parents.
Last year, I had put interest for my mother only as I felt my income would not be sufficient to sponsor my mother and father.
I was married from 2018 to mid December (my spouse entered Canada in beginning of 2020) so should I consider 4 people bracket when I am looking for minimum income requirement? This is the requirement shown in CIC website for 4 people for 2020 and prior two years. My income for 2018 and 2019 was below $55k-60k but below the requirement shown. If my wife was not present in Canada, I still need to consider as 4 people for 2018-19 or 3 people in total.

Thank you.

4 people$48,167$61,209$60,271
Thank you. If I am only applying for my mother, do I still look at total number of people as 4 for income requirements? If yes, are there any solutions to this? I don't want to lose this chance of getting invitation for my mother. Thank you!
I would recommend you not to apply, as you will get refuse if you don't meet the income requirement. First thing you cannot just sponsor one family member and leave other. You need to add your father to the application for income verification, as a non accompanying family member

https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1460&top=14
To calculate your family size, include:

  • yourself
  • your spouse or common-law partner (who could also be your co-signer) (doesn't matter weather they live in Canada or not)
  • your dependentchildren
    • only include your children if they meet the definition of a dependent child
    • for young children, only include them starting on the year they were born (see example 2)
  • your spouse’s or partner’s dependentchildren
    • only include children who meet the definition of a dependent child
    • for young children, only include them starting on the year they were born (see example 2)
  • any other person you (and your co-signer, if applicable) may have sponsored in the past, for whom you’re still financially responsible
  • the parents and grandparents you want to sponsor and their dependants (spouse or partner and dependent children). You must also include
    • any dependent children who won’t come to Canada with your parents or grandparents
    • your parent or grandparent’s spouse or partner, even if they won’t come to Canada
    • your parent or grandparents’ separated spouse
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/permanent-residence/non-economic-classes/family-class-assessing-sponsor.html


There is nothing you can do to solve this. You need to proof income for 4 people for all 3 years.

Hi Fellow applicants,

I just got an update on my PGP file and I have doubts on them. Can you clarify my questions? @laxsun

1. Marriage Proof between Principal applicant and dependent - My parents do not have a marriage certificate and we had got a notarized affidavit along with other IDs that would proof they are husband and wife. But Case manager updated our file asking for their Voter cards and National identity document (Aadhar card)
  • My mothers cards list my father as her husband so that is good
  • But my father cards do not list spouse, they only list his father
  • I assume they want additional documents to confirm relationship between my parents, so will my mothers ID be good enough for them?

2. Details of government service form - My mother (dependent) worked for the government during her employed years. Now they had asked her to fill the "Details of government service form" which our letter says is enclosed, but I do not see it. I tried finding it online but could not. Does anybody have this form they can share with me?
Only form I can see is the Details of military Service form - but she was not in the military. Any advise?

Thanks and good luck

you have not received DM 1 (display on ECAS) or just not received SA letter

I got DM1 since july, but still not received any SA letter
I have received nothing other than AOR and MYCIC also shows that the sponsorship application is still in process. I am not sure what to do at this stage.

Thanks

Not all of us received sponsorship approval letters. In my experience, you can't do anything here, you can try order GCMS notes and probably there will be some details. They didn't answer on webform inquiry about application status, I am asked 3 times why I didn't get a sponsorship approval letter and they just answering your file in process.
