Parents & Grandparents Program (PGP) 2023

[malwai3x]

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.

Could someone who has submitted their passports in India answer please?

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?

I received my AOR but does not have UCI on that just application no is that normal? That had the same message like submit imm 5768 if no it included with the application.

I did include IMM 5768 with application.

Please note my parents already had Biometrics and Medical done(2023 September) for supervisa. Does that mean they no need to undergo with Medical test? Also, any idea about the next steps?

I did include IMM 5768 with application.

I had the same situation. The AOR didn't have the UCI. However, subsequent correspondence like biometric letter and sponsor eligibility letter all have UCIs on them.

Hi,
i had the same question. I also uploaded same letter in VFS portal for passort pick n drop. But i got 2 different email for both the parents.
As per VFS- each applicant should have to prepare 1 package and give passport n other docs.
whereas IRCC letter - says only 1 package to be sent with letter and passport?

what the way forward- 1 pack or 2 different pack for parents ?

Oklooks like that is normal.

Thanks for confirming.

Update on this - we received a mail with another request to complete a document. I'm using a representative so they requested to have the IMM5476E document completed and sent.

Hi Nav Singh, Are you able to see the status of application online, I am not able to see any application status online. i have tried searching both as an applicant or as an sponsor. I still do not see the status online. Last communication I had with CIC was when they wanted me to submit the new passport of my parent, and I did that. No response since that time??

 

[tulip07]

May I please ask what information did you use to link the application? I have tried many times but haven't been successful.

Sorry reposting this in the 2023 forum in case any members have experience or can provide some advice

1)My dad had a first wife that passed away. The checklist mentions that we must upload a death certificate. We are thinking of obtaining the certificate from from the hospital that she passed away in. Would that work? Or would we need an official govt certificate?

2) the checklist also mentions “if the principle applicant was previously married”
a) provide given/family names of previous spouse
b) the length of time they were together.

does this answer information have to be provided in word doc and then uploaded? Or is it sufficient that’s it’s captured already in the generic application form?
