Parents & Grandparents Program (PGP) 2023

[alijumani]

So what I am sensing is that Vancouver office folks are doomed? That office will take forever?
Anyone here from Vancouver? how can we contact the office and tell them to speed up things. I dont want my parents waiting for another 2-3 years

Hi I applied on Nov 3, received AOR on Mar 11, Biometric on Mar 18 and sponsor approval on Mar 20. My parents are back home and their file transfer to Vancouver Immigration.

PCC is required from every country where there have lived for at least 6 months from the age of 18 or over. I got another follow-up letter saying that, so now I also need to get one from Canada since they've been here for over 12 months.

hey, are you getting a RCMP criminal record check ? If yes, whats the processing time ? Thanks

Hi,
My application is not opened yet, Can I apply PCC from India now and upload before they ask?

Hi All,

Is there an excel sheet to keep track? for PGP 2023

 

[Ag2023]

Is anyone able to track their application using ECAS ? How many days after gckey linking were you able to track on ECAS ?

frankly, so confused with all these multiple tracking tools.

Our invitation was from Mississauga Office but our additional documents letter came from Sydney Office, does that mean our application is transferred from Mississauga to Sydney office for processing? Its been a month now after sending our additional documents and still no update.

 

[KamToor]

how did you send the pcc upfront ? Which email id ?

Along with the additonal docs they requested, I submitted pcc and a copy of medicals(done for my moms super visa in feb)

And

Final decision

We also received addional docs request from sydney processing office. No AOR and also unable link to GcKey.
I remember viewing elsewhere that processing may not move as quickly as from other offices
Keeping fingers crossed and hope application is not stranded for long tjme at each stage !!

This is TRUE, my application move from Sydney to Mississauga and it delays processing time. Hopefully we can hear some good news soon.

Help please.
I got biometrics request for my parents today. However, when I link their application using gc key, I can see that their application has their biometrics info from their visitor visa application. Do they still need to do the biometrics again?

Yes, Bio-metrics needs to be done again.

Ah thanks ! Did you also get similar update ?
