Would you mind sharing which form did they ask you to re-sign on Feb 15, 2023? And also what was the reason they didn't accept the original signature?
Thanks!
Just called them today, they said file is still in progress and we don't need anything from you right now. On GCKey the Final decision made update came on Oct 12, 2023. Background check is still in progress.
Hi @monopoly. Sorry to hear about this. Have you considered a mitigation plan to deal with managing the cancer - https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/inadmissibility/reasons/mitigation-plans.html
Most cancers wouldn’t qualify for mitigation. Only exception is maybe for certain blood cancers that is stabilized longterm by taking a pill everyday.
80% in 12 months is really for family sponsorship and has never been associated with PGP. Wait times have varied when it comes to PGP but most have waited longer than 1 year whetever the year.
Not for all blood cancers but for certain blood cancers has been life changing. Now that it is available in generic form and patent has expired fir many uses also is an affordable way that many have gone from high chances of death to living long life with minimal cost.

I've read with interest the posts where parents are currently in Canada. This is my situation too - I'm the parent/grandparent and arrived last Oct with my passport for 6 months and applied for a Visitor Record since my Parent & Grandparent Super Visa (PGSV) application from May 2021 had fallen into a black hole! After reading the forums here, I submitted a 2nd application in May 23; got biometrics done; and the ORIGINAL application was then processed by mid June! However since I was back in Canada with a 6 month Visitor Record at that point, I hadn't been able to activate the PGSV.
In the interim, the PGP Sponsorship has been thankfully ticking along in the background after my son was successfully selected as a sponsor in the 2022 batch.
Roll on to this October, and I received the pre arrival services invitation letter about 2 weeks ago, then 2 days after that date, an email with the Montreal IRCC letter attached to return details like dates of entry, passport number, my height etc. which I submitted on 19th Oct.
So now, I'm awaiting the return email from them which gives me access to the PR Portal with an additional tab that they provide access to called "Confirmation of Permanent Residence". I can then submit photo etc and they send PR card out to my address here in Canada.
I've never lived for this long with as many fingers crossed and checking emails 20 times a day! It would be brilliant if I had the eCOPR by the time I go back to the UK, mid Nov so that I can arrange shipping and tie up loose ends whilst I'm back on the UK. I know that's a lot to ask, but that would be the ideal so I can get my stuff shipped over and buy a house here!
My processing office is Mississauga by the way....
Any idea how much longer I may need to wait for this return email so I can submit the photo etc on the CoPR section of the PR Portal as in approximately how long have others waited for this stage? The majority are external applicants and I didn't even know this part of the process I'm going through even existed!
