[VJ1234]

Hello Everyone,

I am sponsoring my mother and after a long wait I got this email from CIC with the below details. So, my question is whether this is a generic email or I do have to provide all the documents mentioned below. For, PCC will there be a separate email sent or should I go and apply for PCC and submit it? Same with CV/Resume, will there be separate emails sent if these documents are needed?

I got a separate email for Medical exam today. So, should I expect similar separate emails for PCC , Resume etc?

Hi All

Finally some good news. Decision made on the application and my parents received passport request

@YULIA-2016 @robertp @laxsun @serious_cheese Please update the tracker

• Application received at Ottawa : 21 June 2019 (not June 19 as mentioned in excel)
• AOR: 3 December 2019
• Biometric Request:12 Nov 2020 (for father only)
• Sponsorship Approval: 19 Nov 2020
• Biometric Enrolment: January 13, 2021
• Medical request: May 31, 2021 (both parents)
• Medical Passed: July 7, 2021
• Decision made and Pre arrival letter: Oct 25, 2021
• Passport Request: Oct 28, 2021
  
  Currently, my parents are in India (Punjab). They went to submit passport in Jalandhar office but were told by agents (outside. place was like crowded like concert ) that they don't accept passports straightway like before
  but they would have to register on some online portal and pay DHL courier fees ( ~4500 inr/applicant, for when passport will be sent back after getting stamped). Only then will they get call from office with appointment date/time to go and submit passport.
  Does anyone has recent experience on how to submit passport at JALANDER PASSPORT OFFICE (or Chandigarh) . or such similar process of passport submission india?

 

[PEHAT]

Hi all,
can anybody please advise..

Should worry about delayed Application processing time?
These statuses/updates I see on the IRCC Client Application Status utility:
1) "We received your application to sponsor <> on February 4, 2021."
2) "We started processing your application on August 10, 2021."
3) "We sent you correspondence on August 10, 2021. If you have not yet provided the information or the requested documents, please do so as soon as possible. Please wait until you receive the correspondence before sending us additional information, as the correspondence will outline all information that is required." - I have corrected and resubmitted document right away(called IRCC, they said that successfully received it)
4) On Sep 03 2021 I received email saying: "This letter confirms that your Application to Sponsor a Member of the Family Class was received
by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) at the Case Processing Centre in Mississauga on behalf of the following family member(s) ..."

Since then (2 months) I didn't hear anything from IRCC. Should I worry about it and try to contact them through my local MP? Or it is normal?

Currently when I login to my IRCC account to which I recently attach this Application number - I see this Status:
"We are processing your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you."
