Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2019

[yashbabrah]

As per the IRCC website, "After you submit your application, we’ll send you a letter that says you need to give your biometrics and where to go. You’ll have up to 30 days to go in person to an official biometrics collection service location."

So please wait for the letter from IRCC Office. I am sure you must've indicated in the IMM5669 that she is in Canada right now, If i were you I will wait for the instructions.

Thank you very much!

Question for IMM 5669

My parents only signed their name (handwritten). We did not type it.
Do we need both or only handwritten is enough? Please HELP.
Kv

No need to type if not typed as they need handwritten signature on this form.
It gives the option for electronic signature who are submitting any application online.

Based on my last call with CIC agent (I called again as I wanted to get the Temporary "Prospect File" Number), he described the following process of getting the file to ECAS. He was surprisingly acquainted with the process...

• CIC Receives the Application
• CIC Opens the Package and Scans the Barcodes Forms / Fee Forms and Other forms / documents and prepares a file - This is called "Prospect File" Stage.
• A Temporary Application ID is created. This is temporary and for internal use only. This number WILL change. There is nothing that we can do with this temporary file ID number.
• The person who scans these files (may or may not choose) to "activate" ECAS Status. There is a "Submit to View" or something along this lines button that can be pressed. This explains why some people see ECAS right away, while others have to wait for additional steps below. (My theory: it's the interns who go the extra mile, seasoned officers tasked with this don't bother ) Application received Stage in ECAS if activated.
• In addition to the a"Submit to View" button, the UCI for Sponsor / Parents has to be active (e.g. in my case, my UCI is more than 7 years old (since it was used last) and is not active in CIC database. A new one will be created)
• The Prospect File is handed to a CIC Case Officer (CO) - first come first serve basis. (This has been debated either way in this thread)
• The CO reviews the file for completeness, correct fees, etc. and generates a proper Application ID, new UCI (if old ones are inactive) and activates the file - ECAS Status is now available. In process Stage in ECAS.
• CO issues the AoR (by email if available) to the Sponsor with Application ID.
• With the application ID, one can now "link" the application on myCIC.
• Assessment Stage Starts. File review is now underway for Sponsor eligibility. Stays as In process Stage in ECAS.?
• Missing documents / additional documents etc are now requested.

yeah, i saw another post similar to yours (thank you for posting it again though!) and that's why i am not worried.
i got confirmation from Canada Post that the package was delivered so now I will just leave it to CIC to do their thing and contact me if they need anything else.
Some people are freaking out about this ECAS thing for no reason: this whole process may take up to 2 years to be finalized, people need to learn how to wait LOL

Based on this the "In process" stage is after AoR, then how is some people are able to see "In process" in eCAS without receiving AoR???

 

[rockwidme]

[mohitmalhotr44]

Yes, just for this form only. Type with Black Ink

You mean also the signature should be done using a black ink pen?

 

[Vic R]

Yes. Same G Martin

in my case, I can read the last name as SCI Martin but signature looks like G martin.

 

[colourfulcanada]

When you provide both SIN and NOA, did you check the last item in checklist?

Yes

 

[respect2019]

Same here. I can read the last name clearly.
first looks like letter G

I can't believe that the question that has been asked the most on this thread doesn't even have anything to do with the forms, but the ink of the pen
I think it has been asked like 250 times already and replied another 300
" Oh I cannot find it", there is a huge search button at the top of the page where you can say "search this thread only" and find your answer, but guess no one is willing to use it
