Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2021

[Cal_gary_PR]

Hello,

So my parents received a PCC request with a deadline of Sept 15, 2022. However, due to some unavoidable medical reasons, they are going to be late to submit the PCC.

Question: How do I inform CIC that they are going to be delayed in submitting the PCC? Is it through the Webform (which is super delayed) or do I just attach an explanation letter to the GCKey document upload portal?

CIC's letter only says we need to inform; however, it does not say how to inform CIC.

Cheers

Hello All, I need some expert opinion on the query below. I got a sponsorship approval letter for my parents one day after their biometrics was done (no request for medical, PCC yet). The wordings of the letter are given below.
Question- Do I need to upload any documents additionally as shown below? I have already uploaded those during the application stage. Will there be a separate request for PCC and medicals?

Thanks a lot in advance..

I ‘ve received the same email as you but they have asked for the PCC as well for primary applicant and dependant plus some other documents like the travel form, CV… so even if I’ve already sent some of them I will resend them just in case…I would suggest to send the PCC even if they havent asked for it maybe it will speed up things a little bit.

 

[quujaz]

Just a little note for people who have been struggling linking app to CLEGC : I’ve been trying for so long with failed tentatives but finally what I was doing wrong is that there was a slight difference between city of birth of primary applicant in IMM0008 and how it’s written in the passport . I was using the one on IMM0008 while I should use the one on the passport. Hope this helps!

Thanks a lot in advance..

I submitted PCC in March, following the same letter. This is the only item among the list I haven't submitted in my original application in 2021.

Down the road I received these requests:

 Updated residential address: You are required to provide the current residential address for the principal applicant and their dependant family member (if applicable). You must report any changes to their address, telephone number(s) and email address immediately throughout the processing of your application. Failure to provide updates may result in processing delays.

This request came in together with proof of relationship. I think they need to confirm where the parents are at now, so local IRCC office will follow up with PPR or office in Canada will provide virtual landing. If parents have moved into another country for more than 6 months perhaps another PCC will be requested, even detailed travel history.

Proof of Relationship (Sponsor and Principal Applicant): Please provide a photocopy of your birth certificate clearly indicating your relationship to the Principal Applicant. If you cannot provide this, please provide additional government documents establishing your relationship. Please review the country specific requirements listed for children, as these documents are applicable to sponsors of parents and grandparents. Country specific requirements can be found on our website: www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/spouse.asp.
 Proof of Relationship (Principal Applicant and Dependant Spouse or Common-law Partner): The principal applicant and their dependant family member (if applicable) must provide the following:

I provided my parent's marriage cert and my birth cert, both translated and notarized. However they don't satisfy the VO. This request (proof of relationship) is highly country-specific. There is no way you will know if the doc you provided will satisfy VO. Every applicant must have already provided sth in the original application to proof this. Some sail through smoothly and some hit the bump. The only thing I can think of if you want to get prepared, is to search online for other PGP apps (most recent will be best) from the same country of residence. See what they provided and if it's time consuming, apply for it before hand.

All that said it's just what you do "In order to minimize delays". IRCC will always ask if they need anything.

Hello, I received an email from IRCC about my consent and declaration form is incomplete. IRCC want the form completed and electronically signed by the Principal Applicant again but I cannot sign the form because the portal doesn't let me change anything after I submitted my application. Does anyone know how I can resign the consent and declaration form online after I submitted my application. Thank you

There is no option to change anything once the application is submitted. Also, there is no such form exist. You will have to call or contact ircc via web form to provide the form.
thanks.
