Thanks. My parents got their PCCs at a local police station and then translated and notarized.

Great. Thanks a lot gxxl1234. All the best.

I hope someone for Batch 2022 can answer my questions, we just receive ours for the 2023 intake and my question is for the portal do I have to create to account one each parent (mother and father) or I can just pick one as a principal applicant and put the other parent as a dependent

You cannot connect the application in portal if you haven't submitted it, but once you do, you will create one account that will have principal applicant and the dependent(s)

Sir , Thanks for reply !!
Just want to know , is by going through MP can make some negative impact on application ? Ircc people may assume it as undue influence or just it is a normal practice.

You can get the CAIPS notes to see the status of the application or if there are any remarks, but Rsingh401 is correct.

What is the COPR ETA after this stage?
Any idea.

There will be PPR (Passport request) that will usually arrive in couple weeks after pre-arrival letter (for some it is faster), then once you submit the passports you will get PR visa stamped and COPR for each member.

Oh wow! Amazing timeline. Mississauga office is very efficient. Is this for a supervisa applicant?

Hi everyone, I got a PGP 2023 invite and just while doing the application wanted to get some insight for folks who have applied previous year and have more experience with the application.

1. Is it okay for me as a sponsor to fill out the online application for my father (PA) and mother (PA Dependent)? as they are not tech savvy.
2. If yes to above, I will just need to submit use of Representative form along with the application? Do I also have to submit the authorization to disclose information form?
3. when I applied for interest to sponsor I was PR but now I am citizen and DO NOT have the original PR but do have the scanned copy. Can I submit that copy along with my passport?
4. I am only sponsor - applying for parents only. I assume I would not be needing their birth certificates upfront (unless asked later)?
5. Finally, any indication on how long the processing takes from submission of application after invitation to sponsor - to finally getting the COPR (if this timeline has yet been materialized)?

Again thank you in advance for the guidance on the above. 2023 applicants are trying to be part of a whatsapp group community where we can ask any questions. Is there any existing whatsapp group from 2022 applicants?

lol. No, they only have visitor visas applied a long time ago. For this PGP application, they need to do bio and med for the first time.

Hello, i received sponsorship approval letter on July 19, 2023 and did not hear anything after. I am a little anxious now specially after seeing lots of files being finalized. Vancouver office. Is anyone in the same boat?

It seems like Vancouver office is not as quick as CPC Mississauga. Based on the tracker it takes time after SA. Looking at other applications there I am expecting any further steps next year as SA came on Sep 13th for us. Don't get anxious, just wait a month or two.
