Parents & Grandparents Program (PGP) 2023

We received PCC request but not medicals. My mom is staying with us in Canada on Super visa. We submitted the PCC request to BLS, but they are saying it is going to take 2 months. We are only given 30 days to upload, what can be done here?

Canada immigration has new temporary policy according to which people who already had medical done within last 5 years (like someone had medical done before getting super VISA) then they won't be asked for another medical.
In-Canada applicants
We’ve put in place a temporary public policy for immigration medical exams (IMEs) until October 6, 2024.

If you completed an IME within 5 years of submitting your new application, include the IME number (or the unique medical identifier number) from your previous exam in your current application.

You may be exempt from completing another IME if you meet all of these conditions:

• You applied, or are applying, for either permanent residence or temporary residence.
• You already live in Canada.
• You completed your previous IME in the last 5 years.
• Your previous IME indicated a low risk or no risk to public health or public safety.

Hello everyone,

i am currently preparing application and was wondering if you can please provide insights on following based on your experience:

• Does use of representative form needs to be signed by both PA and accompanying dependent spouse or just by PA?
• Do we also need to add travel in personal history (background declaration form 5669) in addition to employment and education ?
• Address history requires all addresses for past 10 years. My parents visited canada twice and lived with me for 6 months each. Do i need to provide address where parents lived in Canada during previous visits ?

How long it takes to update for medical once it's done? Medical is done on June 03 but in GCkey still says we have requested for medical

CHECK ON TOP OF GCKEY, IT SHOULD SAY YOU HAVE PASSED MEDICAL ON WITH DATE

Hello!! My parents received a letter asking payment for Biometrics although they do already have valid biometrics (they got them last year). My question is would the PR biometrics be different from the ones they got before (picture and fingerprints valid for 10 years) and should they go through the process again now?
Appreciate this forum so much

Hi,

I believe we(Indian education certificates) don't have parents name in their 10th and 12th certificates. If yes, why does IRCC needs those.

Did you try providing birth certificate which shows parents name.

Grade 10 and 12 CBSE certificates has father's name on it. Earlier I sent only birth certificate but they asked me to send more documents to prove my relationship with my father. So then I sent Grade 10 and 12 CBSE certificates as an additional documents to prove the relationship.

Hello anyone can reply please. Thank you.

No you don't have to upload anything as biometric centre will automatically send biometrics reports to the immigration.
