Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2021

Has anyone received the virtual landing email (after PPR) recently?

Yours is still pending?

 

[Derricktse]

Got only the virtual landing email. No PPR though. Here is the timeline : Oct 13 - Application approval/Portal email, replied same day. Oct 17- Portal Credentials, updated same day. Oct 18 - ECOPR

Thanks. Did you inform IRCC that your parents were in Canada before you received the email?

Every Passport photo shop in Canada like Print2Go; Walmart or Staples always affix a rubber stamp and write the date with a Gel pen. It ought not be difficult to do the same in any country/city

It is definitely not common in our original country for photo stores to have rubber stamps. It is common in Canada thats why all stores here do it. We opted to handwrite instead and IRCC had no problems with it.

Still. I have no idea what is going on. On oct 5 they confirmed they received my 1st webform (sent aug 10) and forwarded to the relevant office. 2 weeks have passed and i have heard nothing else. Not sure why it is that difficult to set up a portal.

I think you've used webform, sent email to virtual landing, so there is this only thing left you can do. where is your PPR originated? which local visa office? there should be an email on the PPR letter. you can email them. If you have done this already just ignore my reply.
EDIT: webform is slow but when they formally reply you it means virtual landing is looking at it.

Thank you for your response! Do I have the option to submit the application myself ? reason i am asking this because the Representative Permanent Residence (PR) Portal is for licensed representative? what are my options here?

You will need to wait for letter from IRCC to apply for the CSQ. The letter will contain details you need. For CSQ for parents you will have to apply by paper and mail the application to MIFI. I don't speak French so I used a representative to help me with the application as all the forms are in French.

Its Mississauga CPC. I even contacted my local MP, and they assigned a case officer, who said there was nothing wrong with the application and that I just had to patiently wait for the VL email :|

Yeah somehow our case has always been with Mississauga CPC from the beginning.

May be you are right. My FIL is not in Canada, as he said his photographer does not have stamp. However, the photo quality is very good. We still have 2 more months to prepare, if he does not get the stamp. We will use what he has. Will update in this forum, if his application gets rejected/returned just for this. Moreover, if IRCC wants we can forward IRCC the email receipt the photographer sent to my FIL with the his photo as an attachment.

That makes at least two places in this world where it is common for a photographer to not to have their or business' stamp .
