Parents & Grandparents Program(PGP) 2022

[anupjoginder]

Hi everyone, I hv few questions for PCC, first is - my parents are in Canada since more than one year and before that they were in USA. it could take more time for pcc? & from where to get?
My another question is since ircc hasn't asked to submit PCC yet, can I go ahead and apply for pcc for them and submit it through webform?
Another question is when I check the GC key account the status is showing no medical & biometric is required and no documents are required. Also the status showing submitted. What does this mean?
I called them and they say you don't need for medical, biometric but for Police clearance we will mail you. What should I do? Pls advice me. I'm worried.

Hello everyone, Does anyone know that how much time it takes to process PCC in Punjab (India). I got request for PCC on May 14, it was done on May 17 through passport office, we did not get any other update for PCC docs so far.

It can take a while. My parents got it almost a month after their initial appointment.

Hi all,

I had got the following email (which looks like the AOR itself) about 3 months back.

Subject:
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada - Communication to client/Immigration, Réfugiés et Citoyenneté Canada - Communication auprès de la clientèle - CPCM / CTDM - PGP 2022 AOR Letter <application number>

Letter content start:
This letter confirms that your Application to Sponsor a Member of the Family Class was received
by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) at the Case Processing Centre in
Mississauga on behalf of the following family member(s):

But I am not able to search for the application or attach the application in online account. I tried with searching all different options like Application number /UCI, passport, place or birth etc.

I had been trying this for many weeks now.

Has someone else faced the same issue. What are my options now for the next steps? Should I contact IRCC by webform or something.

Mine was the same, I could only link it after I got the Sponsor approval letter, just the AOR does not mean you would be able to link

I got Sponsor approval letter, but I am still struggling to link the application.

I got Sponsor approval letter, but I am still struggling to link the application.

I actually spoke to an IRCC agent over the phone and they said unless I, the sponsor, was the authorised representative, i would not be able to link the application.

Does not make sense to me that being a sponsor myself I can't see the application status. How does IRCC know who's accessing the application status if i am using e-cas vis cic's website?

I know its stupid thats what their official explaination was.

Just make a account in gc key on main applicant name and do the linking process !!

In our case they asked for 2 pcc's

So i guess they gonna ask usa pcc if they lived there more than 6 mnths but not sure for canada

Read this for usa pcc

I just went through the US process for my mom , when I got PCC request letter they sent me a link to get the US PCC (its done by FBI ).My mom is in India currently so the entire US PCC process including finger print etc took 2 weeks . The hardest part was getting finger prints in India by an approved vendor but its a very straight forward process . The US charge was 18$usd and for finger printing in India , including sending the card to FBI in the US by courier etc she paid 8k INR. Hope this helps .

There should be another email asking for PCC. We received sponsor approval letter on May 18, then received PCC request email on May 19.

Is the sponsor approval letter the same as aor?

Hi Lay,

I had a question re: upfront medical exam for parents. Did your parents do it as part of super visa or did they do it specifically for this PR application? My in-laws are leaving their home country in a couple of weeks to an extended trip to US and I suspect their medical request will arrive while they are in the US. I am trying to avoid doing it in third country and thinking of having them do an upfron medical exam. Is that possible? What documents do they need when they go for upfront medical exam?

My parents extended their stay in Canada as a visitor, so we were asked to provide medical for that. I am almost positive that we can still use same medical for their PR since validity is for a year.
