Congrats! Finally eh!
Did they respond to the webform you submitted?

No. Just generic response.

But I got a new issue now. I renewed my moms passport in august. The new passport have different description of address than the old one. She did not change her address at all but ppr got old description according to the old passport. I did update the passport right away in august but they did not change the address in application i guess. I am raising a webform for that and attaching its copy with passport submission in VFS jalandhar. Will they accept it? Or is it a big issue? New address description got different PO in it.

I honestly don't think that would be an issue. May be take/submit both the old and new passport at VFS. Plus, I think new Indian Passport mentions the previous passport number on the last page.

Question regarding the generic webform response - was it something like.. we are processing your application, we will let you know when we make a decision or need more info.

Good luck everyone thanks for the answers and support.

Congrats
I am waiting for my moms passport request too. How long does it take to get it. My moms medical was done a month back and submitted PCC and bio metrics.
medicals is passed.
The VFS in bangalore said to submit passport within 30days from biometrics is that correct?

Hi ..

I would think so.

 

[ali.tariq]

Does anyone know how long does it take after the police clearance certificate requests? I received the request in Aug, submitted them in Sept. and got a notification in Oct that they were reviewing it. Nothing since.

 

[wo403]

So my dad got an email back in September asking him to submit his biometrics with a due date in October, we just saw that email - I tried calling IRCC on their hotline but couldn't connect - not sure what the next steps are. Do I continue to request biometrics and police certificate even though it's past due? So frustrated.

 

[shiva1248]

I would think so.

I See this on their website about PCC.
You don’t need to give us police certificates for any period of time before you were 18 years old or for time spent in Canada.

i am confused ,if we need to do canada RCMP,anyone in similar situation please help ?

My Father had stent in the heart done in 2012, will it cause any issue for the medical examination ?

Seeking Guidance: Exemption for Medical Exam for Non-Accompanying Dependent in PGP Application

Hello everyone,

My wife and I are sponsoring my mother-in-law (Principal Applicant) under the Parent and Grandparent Program (PGP). As part of the application, my father-in-law is listed as a non-accompanying dependent. Recently, IRCC requested both of them to undergo medical exams and provide Police Clearance Certificates (PCC).

The challenge is that my father-in-law is unable to travel long distances due to a severe phobia of air travel and health concerns related to long road journeys. The nearest designated medical facility is about 10 hours away by road, which he cannot handle. He is only comfortable traveling short distances to nearby cities.

We understand the consequences of not completing the medical exam for him and are seeking advice on how to request an exemption. My father-in-law is fully aware that being exempted from the medical exam could impact his eligibility for sponsorship under the Family Class in the future. Despite this, he wishes to proceed with the exemption request and is willing to provide the Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) as requested.

My mother-in-law, the Principal Applicant, has no issues traveling to complete her medical exam and is also willing to provide the Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) as requested.

How should we properly explain this situation to IRCC to request an exemption for my father-in-law's medical exam? Any guidance or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!
