Just send an explanation letter to IRCC describing that your parents are not living in Canada.Good morning members,
I have sponsored my parents who are both living in Senegal, I have received an email to provide what's on the list but I am unclear how they can do and provide their Criminal records / Fingers print to an RCMP office when they don't live in Canada?
I am hoping someone can help me here in regards to point 8 of this request, and why there are 2 Options 8 in the document:

Pay attention to questions 7-8 and 12 and make sure to give us all your activities and addresses since your 18th birthday and not only for the last 10 years. No period should remain unexplained.

7 The Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF) for you and for your spouse. The payment of the RPRF of 490$ must be sent to the CPC-Mississauga for the cost recovery. Your sponsor in Canada must make the payment of the RPRF and must send the original receipt of payment to CPC-Mississauga.

- A new requirement has come into force regarding the Biometric program. For full details please see http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/biometrics.asp. You will need to go to one of these offices to undergo biometrics. Biometric fees of 85 $ CAD have to be paid. If you have already paid the biometrics fees, you must present yourself at the VAC office with the original receipt of payment. You can take your biometrics at the following VAC offices in. You will find the coordinates of all the VAC offices on their web site at: http://www.vfsglobal.ca/Canada/index.html. Please note that you will need to present your passport to be able to pass the biometrics. Do not send us the passport until you have completed this requirement.
- Criminal records of Canada for both. We had made a request to the RCMP in Canada. However, the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Canada) has requested that you submit your fingerprints to the granting of your criminal record in Canada. You must take your fingerprints to a police and sent to the RCMP in Canada or get closer to the RCMP in Canada to get a criminal record in Canada.
Please find below a link that will enlighten you on the steps to take your fingerprints.
