Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2021

[microbio1]

Did you include Email as the preferred means of correspondence? I am not sure they send mail/document to home address. If there is anything needing the applicants attention, they would send a notification to the email address provided.

Hi,

Yes, I included my email for correspondence. I was talking to their new residence address. Should I update it as well? So they can do the medical here instead in foreign country? Thank you.

Hi,
I applied my parents for sponsorship last Oct 1, 2021. But they already here in Canada under tourist visa. What is the particular form that I need to fill-out to update their mailing address, as I wanted to receive all communication here in canada instead their foreign mailing address.

Thank you.

this process can take 20-24 month to be finalised and since your parents are in Canada on a tourist visa are you assuming that they will be staying for the whole period until they receive the approval ?in all cases the requirements of a medical test are under a specific panel of physicians meaning that you have to look for a Dr under this panel to do the test ,so you can select anyone from this list .as for changing the address of your parents please remember that the address that you are referring to for your parents is the permanent resident address of the country where you are considered legally a permanent resident if the country and not if you happen to be travelling to a different country under a tourist visa status,but my thought is that if they happen to be in any country where a physician panel exist or approved by them you can do it in all cases ( and in this case if they happen to be in canada it wont be an issue ).in all cases give the immigration a call to ask that if your parents happens to be here when they ask you for a medical if you can do it here ...we all have at least 20-24 month before the D day.

I applied for parents sponsorship on 25th Nov- haven't received any update yet.
Is it same like PR and citizenship application where you get AOR after 2 3 months of submission?

Yes. They can apply. But approval depends on family ties back home to show that they are true visitors.

Submitted on Nov 24 and nothing yet!

Just curious - I gave my SIN so that they can do the income calculations. Based on my own calculations, I should be good for 2018, 2019 and 2020 as we havent filed taxes for 2021 yet. But I somehow met the threshold for 2018 by 3K! Do you know if they do any other calculations or just use the line 150 from NOA?

the calculation is based on the total gross income of the mentioned years if you meet it on the dot then you meet it .

Yes, online application submitted last October 13.

I used the Principal Applicant’s Name, Birthday and Passport.

As per experience in PGP 2019, it means they are staring to process your application coz with AOR it will tell you that your are included on 2021 intake and it includes your Application number on the letter.
