Hey guys, for those who are sponsoring their mom and dad and received request for form 5406. Did you get two separate emails or just one email? I only got one email and is asking for form 5406 to be sent again for the main applicant only (my dad).

just making sure that there is no another email that I missed. Because they are only asking for my dad to submit the 5406 again.

Thanks!

Hi Gays
Have you idea which month parents Express of Interest application will open in 2024.
Could you please share....
thanks

I am one of the people who are baffled by ircc’s decision to continue to draw from the same 2020 pool. HOWEVER, something seemed to have changed this year. In previous years the PGP process of those years would be announced and drew in later half of those years, sometimes even very close to end of year. Yet, this year they are doing that in April-May…that leads me to think there may be another pool to be formed later in the year in prep for 2025 PGP or some process like that. So, I would stay put and keep an eye out for any news in later half of the year.

Later half of the year draws were exceptions due to covid delays.
PGP Programs have traditionally always been in early part of the year..

there is no last name? whatever is last name should be added as family name

ok let me try

 

[indbangalore]

Did you receive anything from them since you submitted the app?

Nope nothing yet

Well, the "covid delays" years are also coincidentally the years since the 2020 pool. Also I don't think there's actual evidence to suggest they did draws later in those years due to the pandemic.

Hi guys, we submitted our PGP application in dec 2023. In March we received an email stating to provide proof of relationship between primary applicant and dependant. The letter also had an application number. We haven't heard anything yet after that. I tried linking the application to GCKey but the application wasn't found.

Can anyone please guide?
Thanks

How to link application to GCKey? Is it sponsor or principal applicant information? How many family members to include?

Same here.
I dont have the application number, It says we can link using name and date of birth . However my moms passport the last name is blank and it has only given name.
The GCkey requires both. I tried all entering the same for Surname and given names , it didnt work. Any one else who had the same issue

i am in same boat. i have application number but unable to link. if i select application number and family name, it shows application number is not related to category selected. Category selected is PR and sub cateogory is family class: parents and grandparents.

We lived in Kenya and my mother and I maintained Indian citizenship and were dependant on my father during our time in Kenya. For the additional document request, we sent my mother's ID card, tax documents, property deed etc. from Kenya and my school certificates from Kenya as well as birth certificates and passports to show relationship. The email requested us to send Aadhar cards and high school documents which we did not have. I provided a letter explaining what our status was in Kenya. I'm hoping this is sufficient and doesn't cause any hiccups. There have been no further updates to the application since submitting the additional documents that were requested. Getting kind of nervous now seeing how everyone else's files are being processed so quickly

Hi. Use the principal applicant's information. Include principal applicant + dependent (if any) + sponsor + co-sponsor [exclude children]
