Hello, does anyone know what this means?

We only got a pre-arrival letter, and on the system it says Latest update: Final decision with todays date followed by "Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made." .Its confusing/contrasting that it says Final Decision and date, but then it says we will send you a message when a final decision is made. Background check says we are processing.

Thanks.

Hello guys,
I got the passport submission letter for my dad. My mum is listed as dependent. I am wondering if they have to send all requested documents in 1 package or individual packages for each of them. The passport submission letter is only under my dad’s name. They are in India if that helps at all.. would really appreciate any help from anyone who have successfully passed this step,
as mixed instructions everywhere.
thanks again!

Hello, so does this mean, u do not have to upload photos on the portal.? so basically in this case, the package with letter, passport and photos are sent to VFS and they send it to the embassy for passport stamping directly? Thanks.

I got a strange request asking for either my voter ID (didn't have one before I left India) , Aadhaar card (wasn't there when i left India), and middle school certs. Otherwise they are asking for old passports and/or OCI, my old PAN card and parents ration card. Anyone else receive this request?

Hi there, Were you able to submit all docs and did you hear back on it? I got the same request. I only have passports and 10th certificate.

I had received this request last yr. I submitted only the old Indian passport as I have nothing else. Then I received my sponsor approval.

Hello everyone, while I understand this thread primarily focuses on 2022 applications, I'm hopeful that someone here may relate to my current situation. Recently, my mother, who is a dependent on the application, has arrived in Canada on a visitor visa and plans to stay for six months. However, my father, the primary applicant, remains in our home country. I'm seeking guidance on where to inform IRCC about my mother's presence in Canada. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I tried to inquire through the ircc portal but they sent me a link to the processing time page. So the processing time is around 24 months now, does it start when we get picked in the draw or when we get the file number? If the processing time starts after sponser approval then we received file number on March 2023, that means another 12 months?

It starts on the date your application was submitted.
