Parents & Grandparents Program (PGP) 2023

[pg23]

Good morning! I am in a fix and need guidance.

I got a letter from cic asking to resend the financial statement form again as the signature was missing and they want it to be current aka new date of signature.
The problem is now I am unemployed as there was yet another layoff at work.
So should I update the form to reflect the employment status? Will that impact the decision process? What happens if I don't update the employment status?

Thanks for your help.

Very unfortunate timing...I wish you good luck and trust you will soon be on track.
My views:
1. If you do not comply with doc request, this will get into overdue status and not sure if you will be able to attach and submit again or need to contact ircc and share separately.
2. Income requirement is considered on full tax year earnings and I think even couple of months unemployment may not matter as long as the yearly targets are met.
3. Not disclosing may lead to suppression of facts. IRCC will anyway can view the CRA data if you have given consent.
4. If you have a co-sponsor and jointly you are way above the income slabs defined, i personally feel it should not be a concern. Worthwhile to provide a letter of explanation and in case you are close to getting into a job offer, perhaps can highlight that as well. Since you will have 30 days, maybe can think of waiting for aome positive development till last week before providing any information

This is my personal thoughts and have not experienced or come across this situation. Maybe other members can add their valuable inputs..

Appreciate your good wishes and guidance. The problem is I don't have a co-sponsor, or else I wouldn't be concerned.

I can not see ECAs. I received AOR, biometric, medical , pcc, and pre arrival letter.
Any suggestion or feedback about why?

 

[240680]

Hi you received AOR via email?

Yes, it was email.

Hi. Can you explain your PCC Experience since your parents are here in Canada. did you get it in a month?

 

[240680]

It was just under a month, applied on April 3 and recieved it on May 1. i was planning to send an email to IRCC explaning it is in process if it didn't came on time.

Which country? Did you include PCC from Canada?

 

[240680]

India. They didn't request for Canada.

Did you submit it in person? Was is mailed? I am in similar situation. My parents are here and need PCCC from India.

 

[indbangalore]

Applied through BLS office.
You can apply through BLS and once BLS office gets the PCC they mail you the letter and then you can send the scanned version to IRCC by Mycic account.

How much time does it take to get PCC from BLS office?

Did you mail your application for PCC?

when did you applied to BLS? 03-Apr? you got requested on 03-Apr right?

 

[Neelu123]

I was in a similar situation as you and i gave them the following:
Garde 10, aadhar card, voter ID, expired Indian passport, PAN card, OCI

They were happy with it I assume since my application has reached the final approval stage.

Thank you so much Shankar for this guidance. I called CIC yesterday and they suggested to respond to the email with the documents you have along with the explanation letter. Just like you said.

I submitted 13 additional documents and explanation letter to satisfy them a couple of hours back.

One more thing I wanted to say is that I've received the AOR email also on 8 May with that default language that if not already included submit the Financial Evaluation form. But since I included it in the application itself, I am not resending it.

Please suggest if it is the right approach.

Other question I have is how come I received the AOR on 8th May, if they requested for additional documents on 11 April?
