Hello everyone,

I’ve a quick question and appreciate a reply.

My parents file is still in process and a few weeks ago my work contract ended.

If I apply for the COVID-19 Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) then will it have any effect on my current sponsorship Or on my parents file?

Also, I called CIC a few weeks ago to check the status of my parents file they said it’s been approved and will send official approval letter once they are clear about the COVID-19 situation regarding files in process, they said my parents file is technically still in process although it’s approved. Has anyone else heard something similar from CIC?

I look forward to hearing from you guys.

Thank you!
Could you please let me know which phone number you called? my parents application is in process since Feb07 for both myself and them, and I whould like to get an update, I even dont know which visa office will process their application

It is the general customer service line. You should be ordering GCMS notes if you want an update of their application status.

I think when they are in the process "means you have been approved as their sponsor" and they do not check your income after. Many people lost their jobs during this nasty COVID so I do not think they can get back their sponsor ship because of this...
Did say that this applies to people mainly applying in the future but EI does not count towards LICO so there is a good chance that CERB will not count.

Hi Everyone, I need an expert advice on this case.

My brother is a dependent on PGP2019 application. He came to Canada on Study permit enrolled in September 2019. He got his biometrics done for his Study permit last year only which are valid until 2029(These biometrics are also populated in the dependents column for the PGP file in CIC account).

On March 6th, we receive the Biometrics request for My parents and my brother. My parents submitted their Biometrics on March 9th and my brother got the earliest appointment for Biometrics for first week of April which got cancelled and the Service Canada centres are still not open for Biometrics. Amidst this, we sent an email to CIC in May explaining our situation (asking if need to submit new ones or the ones we submitted last year are good for the application to proceed). We got this response:



Now, last week he applied for his work permit and yesterday he received a letter saying this:

RE: validity of your biometric information
Thank you for providing your biometric information (i.e. digital fingerprints and photograph) in
support of your temporary resident application to Canada. The purpose of this letter is to notify
you that your biometric information is valid until (yyyy/mm/dd) for subsequent
temporary resident applications to Canada.
What you need to know for subsequent temporary resident (TR) applications:
• Please keep this letter for future reference. Your biometric information must be valid for the
duration of your temporary stay in Canada.
• You will not be required to provide your biometric information again in support of any
subsequent temporary resident applications you make within the validity date indicated
above.
• However, if you wish to extend the validity of your permit or visa beyond the validity date
indicated above you can provide your biometric information again and pay the associated
fee for another ten-year validity.
• Please note that you will be required to provide your biometric information in support of any

IMPORTANT
• This letter is not a passport or travel document. You will not be permitted to board your
flight without a valid passport or travel document, even if you have this letter with you.
• This letter does not allow you to enter or remain in Canada. Eligibility and admissibility
to Canada will be based on current Canada Border Service Agency procedures upon
entering Canada.


Now, my question is at one point they ave acknowledged that they have our Biometrics for PGP, at other point they say we need to submit a fresh biometric sample for permanent residency application. Should I try to contact them again ? Or it is good as such. Thanks in advance

Hello Experts
I applied for TRV for my parents. Its stuck and not moving a VAC is closed. However they did completed the medical just before the Lockdown.

There PGP is alos in progress however Londa VO is closed so no progress there either.

Question
IS it ok to share the IMEE /medical result with IRCC (done for TRV purpose) for PGP, even though TRV is still pending?

Thanks
