Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2019

[PS-BC]

Any New Delhi LVO folks who got biometrics done recently(last 1-2 months) Did anyone received a medical & Police Certificate request? My parent did biometrics on Nov 25, 2020, and haven't heard anything back from LVO.

Congratulations!
Did CIC ask any additional documents in Jan 20 other than PCC and IME?

Thanks! They requested RPRF, travel history for mom+depenedent, and also Schedule A for the dependent who turned 18.

Did anyone get PA DM or PPR? Looks like Ankara is sending PPRs for applicants who did medical in Jan 2020.

@Roya-FSW and I are the only two applicants stuck in SA DM stage it seems.

Hi All,

This morning I received an update on myCIC, CPC is asking for new medicals for applicant and dependant. The medicals were passed and submitted in Oct 2019.

The letter says the medicals are expiring in Feb 21 and we are suppose to send before that time.

Can I challenge or ask for a waiver as its not my fault that CIC has not been working on files since the start of 2020?

Did you get a request to do medical again or extension till Feb 21?

I passed my medicals on Oct 1st, 2019 and since then CIC has not updated anything on the file and today I got below message.

Medical: Your medicals are due to expire on 2021/02/28. Unfortunately, you are not eligible for an extension. Please complete or provide proof of completion of the Immigration medical examination. Instructions for your new medicals have been sent to you separately. This must be

oh no, that's too bad, cannot believe that they took that long. I guess the only option is to retake. What a waste of money!

I would question if it's worth it to fight given the cost. You could win the case but what if they didn't get back to you right away and your deadline has passed, this potentially could lead to several delay and issue. I know it is a hassle to do it again but you only sponsor your parents once, no more!

Isn't this weird? If you passed the medicals on October 01, 2019- the date of medical expiry on October 2020. They are saying its going to expire in Feb 21 which is already an extension of 5 months and is still approx. 3 months away.

I would still redo it right away though, never know what will happen.

I need advice on getting travel exemption for sponsored parents with dependents. I know that parents are exempt from travel restrictions as they are considered immediate family members of the sponsor. Dependents of parents, however, are considered extended family members of the sponsor (Am I correct?). Does anyone know if dependents are exempt from travel restrictions and are allowed to travel to Canada together with their parents?

There are different ways that dependents could travel to Canada for the purpose of landing:
1. Principal applicant travels to Canada first and becomes a permanent resident. Dependents can travel at a later date as immediate family members of the landed parent. This is not my favorite option as they'll have to travel separately.
2. As dependents are considered extended family members of the sponsor, sponsor can request a travel exemption for them.
3. Traditionally principal applicant and all dependents travel together for the purpose of landing. This is my favorite option but I wonder if it's viable with all travel restrictions.

I welcome any thoughts on this. Thanks!

Why do you think you will be getting a second medical request?

Thanks for your reply. Our medical got expired in December. That's why I was thinking to get a second medical request

Hello, this is a rather urgent matter i would appreciate to have your advice.

We have received passport request letter for PGP application from VAC ANKARA Turkey, my mother is the principal applicant and my father and brother are dependents. my brother is currently in canada on student visa while my parents are in home country iran and both have valid super visa. according to the letter we received it mentions:

"If you have a mailing address in Canada and if you and all the accompanying dependents on your application are currently in Canada and plan to be in Canada for at least three months, you may submit your passport(s) to the Case Processing Centre – Ottawa."

question is if my parents plan to enter canada with a temporary travel visa to send all passports in one file to CPC Ottawa, would this be counted as dual intent and how would the officer approach this at the border?

i would appreciate to hear your thoughts and what suggestions you have.

thanks kindly

Please update my status in the sheet.. it says "Decision made" but currently our application is "application received". we got request for biometrics on Feb 2020 and since then no update from CIC..

So your sponsorship application is "Decision Made" on Feb 22, 2020.
Your parent's permanent resident application must have changed now to "Application Received".
You must be receiving sponsorship approval (SA) letter with local visa office. If you don't receive SA letter within few weeks, better to call CIC.
