Hi Everyone, i have a quick question regarding PGP application. My parents don’t have the marriage certificate and not even my birth certificate. Could you please help me out on what can we upload?

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 ?

Would appreciate any insights

Don't have the forms in hand, so only for the last question:
Yes, include long visits like 6 months in the address history.

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

thank you. i can now see biometric info updated outside application info with todays date.

I think marriage certificate and birth certificates are very important documents. You should try your grade 10 and 12 certificates or passport which usually have fathers name on them but still your parents will need some kind of certificate to prove that they are husband and wife or something which proves that they are related to each other. Rest you can call them and find out what else you can submit.

I received AOR and in AOR it is mentioned to submit IMM 5768 - Financial Evaluation form "if not included with the application". I have submitted IMM 5768 form with the application. Do I need to resubmit the form?

Hello Everyone,

I have question regarding Biometrics. so my parents did Biometric today. In their PR portal, do i need to upload anything? because the lady at biometric center said this will be updated on the site. my question is then why i have 2 uploads option in PR portal? Anyone can answer this?

Mine was updated the same day, I did not upload anything.

Urgent question:
My parents live outside of Canada when application was filed and we have now received Passport request.

My parents are currently in Canada on TRV and they leave on July 7th.

1. If they do virtual landing here, will they be able to leave Canada Or do they have to wait for their COPR?

Any info on virtual landing will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

When did you submit your file

 

[Tykoon]

I summitted my file in mid December. Receive nothing in 2 months

It's not updated yet. still saying we requested for medical.

sometimes, they don't change the status to "received medical" and until it's been reviewed, it won't change to "passed medical ".

Hello friend, congratulations. I also got a letter asking for passports. I have one question if you can help please - The letter is addresses to my mother who is primary applicant and my dad is accompanying dependent. When I am applying on VFS website for passport submission appointment in Jalandhar VAC, it is asking to upload the first page of passport request letter for both applicants. Should I upload the same letter even if it is not addressed to my dad and his name is not mentioned anywhere in that letter. However, this is what is mentioned in the letter:

a. If your passport is from a country whose citizens need a visa to travel to Canada, you will need to submit original passport(s) for you and each accompanying family member. Your passport(s) should be valid for at least 6 months and have at least two blank pages. If a child is included on your passport, you must have one blank page per accompanying child.

Do we get one passport request letter for multiple applicants or separate? Thanks a lot for the help.
