Hi everyone!

For people whose application is moving, does your biometrics status get updated?

My parents did Biometrics in June, but the status still show that biometrics are not received? But on the information section on top right, i can see biometrics information and when it was done and expiry.

Anyone in the same boat? Since June 8, no update. File was transferred to Vancouver office.
Yes I am in same boat as you.

I am putting together my application and confused whether I should include copy of my PR card as well because I became a citizen earlier this year? I was planning to include my citizenship certificate and a letter of explanation for change of status but I had provided copy of PR card when I completed the interest to sponsor in 2020.

Please advise. Thanks

Include everything including PR card and LOE to explain that you got your citizenship approved. Its always good to provide all the documents and add as much explanation you can provide upfront.

I have received a request for additional docs like aadhar, voter id and PCC. These are to be submitted by 17-Dec-22. However, the Ghaziabad PSK is showing an appointment date for PCC as 4-Jan-23. Is there any other way to get it earlier?
  • Can we apply for PCC at any other PSK than the one serving the address?
  • Is there a way to get tatkal appointment for PCC?
  • Is there an option for walk in?
Anyone else faced a similar situation and can advise?

Hello,

Appreciate your help on the below query:

Medical Examination Clarification Question - Received request for 4 people to undergo medical examination dated Nov 09, 2022 in which 2 people are not listed as an accompany the principal applicant to Canada in IMM0008. For clarity, 2 people who received medical request are even not listed as a dependent to the principal applicant.

Is it normal or change in process by Immigration of Canada to request medical examination for all listed people in the application? Please advise.

Note: Primary and accompanied medical examination has been completed. However, holding the medication examination for other 2 people. Initiated this query via a "Webform" but no response yet.

You can get it from Passport Seva Kendra. I know friends who got it from Delhi PSK, not sure if Ghaziabad PSK does it as well, but no harm in checking with them. Here is the link : https://www.passportindia.gov.in/AppOnlineProject/rpo/rpoPages/rpoGhaziabad/ghaziabadRPO.html

Ghaziabad psk does it. However, the first appointment available is on 4-Jan-23 and I need the certificate to submit by 17-Dec-22. That is why i wanted to know if we can go to any other psk. My parents are in Ghaziabad so not sure if the other PSKs would process our request.

We have received request for proof of relationship as below. Old school certificates don't have parents name in it. We have a character certificate with father's name. Would that work? Do we need to submit all of the below documents or some would do like the aadhar and voter id and maybe passport?

"Proof of Relationship: As proof of relationship to the principal applicant, please provide your voter
ID card, Aadhaar card and old school records (Fifth class, Middle standard and Matriculation/secondary school
certificate). NOTE: Affidavits are not acceptable as proof of relationship."

Is getting a Pre-arrival services letter a good sign? How long usually it takes to get PPR after this?
It means that the PA has been found eligible for the Family Immigration stream.
