yes they can do both bio and medical here in Canada. it will be great to be able to be with your parents through the process. good luck!ok Thank youthat is a relief...my mom has done biometrics before but not my dad. so they would need medical for both and biometrics for dad. Also, they are coming to Canada next week. Hopefully , that would help with any movement in my application once i send the change in contact info.
Hellook Thank you
Do you remember if your mom needed to fill out any form before her biometrics appointment?
Like a consent form?
Thank you
depends on the VAC. Call your local VAC before you go.
Generally passports and BIL from CIC are required.
some VACs are by appointments only so you need to bring your appointment confirmation.
some require consent form to collect your biometrics and there might be covid protocols in place.
I think it was only the biometrics instruction letter and passport only. She went back in 2020 and no appointments were needed at that time. I believe it depends on different visa offices
@kafepoche Yes it will be a lot easier to go through the process together.. Thank you
Good Luck to you as well Hi,@kafepoche Yes it will be a lot easier to go through the process together.. Thank you
my parents are also already here and can they do the medical here? Should I inform the CIC about their new mailing address?
thanks.
Thank you, so will contact them via webform? Do they still need to go back to home country or can they just wait here until they received the results of pr?
They can do medicals in Canada but it will be more expensive. Due to Covid there may be extra delays. Some testing may not be possible for visitors because of huge backlogs for people with provincial health cards.ok Thank you
Really depends on how long processing takes. There are no guarantees of approval or how long processing will take so until people land as PRs they remain visitors and aren’t guaranteed extensions.
Processing for most in Latin and South America goes through Mexico,
They can be in Canada or home country as long as IRCC has their current mailing address. My parents are planning to stay here for a year or so. Hoping to get the process finalized by then.
Ideally if visa is not a problem, yes they can stay and do a virtual landing.

you can call the panel physician you plan to visit, in canada or in home country, to get an idea of the possible wait times, fees, procedures and documents you need to provide. Then you can make an informed decision.
Travelling is difficult for seniors, especially now, so better plan ahead.
