Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2021

[MDM23]

When I checked GC Key today, the October 04 deadline is now October 05 - not exactly sure but I hope it is a deadline for IRCC agent

I hope so too it’s a deadline for them but in the portal under optional section before this date there are other columns, in the first column mDetails’ it says not provided and in the second column ‘description’ it says Client information. And las column shows date as Oct 5 2022. Is it the same in your case,

Was any explanation letter uploaded as well and did you upload it in optional section? I remember I didn’t upload my voters card coz I didn’t have one made before so I added a explanation letter along with my adhaar card and educational documents and uploaded in the main section were it was expected because I couldn’t see upload button/link under optional section.

Nothing more, nothing less. Whatever they asked for, I submitted those.

Thanks!

Update on this:

Passports were submitted last Friday and today the GCkey status changed to approved and showing visa number, so Visa issuance took less than 5 business days.

The passports were sent through a travel agency to Turkey for visa pickup and the biometrics were done in Armenia, so this might be helpful for some people as the visa office can be different for each step and there is no issue.

hi folks,

I have to upload PCC for PA in GCkey, so what should I select for expire date there?
they asked for issue and expire date, there is issue date there but not expire date, any idea about that please?

 

[G32shaila]

Hello,
My parents had their medical exam yesterday in Mumbai. Any idea how long before it will be updated in gckey. Do we get to see medicals passed directly in gckey or will ircc send more requests in gckey if additional tests are needed?
Their biometrics, pcc, additional documents all have been requested and submitted. Any info would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Pune uploaded Medical in 10 working days. Our Medical done on 1st June and on 15th June Gckey showed medical passed. Keep watching Gckey status.

you can put issue date + 1 year as expiry. it really doesn't matter coz they will look at documents rather than take the input as expiry.

I've a lame question - Why do you need to submit your voter Card/adhaar card? Are you the PA or the Sponsor?

Yes I am giving that in absence of voter card, that’s the best I have. I am sponsor and representative for my parents.
