Parents & Grandparents Program (PGP) 2023

[MILIND1985]

Hi All,
My parents got a latter for submitting the police clearance certificate. We have applied for the police clearance certificate already but have not yet received. The letter states that we must notify the office if we are unable to submit the documents before the due date with proof. I have two questions:
1. Which email address do I write to?
2. What proof can I provide?
It would be great to hear if anyone has any experience in this before.

1) IRCC.CPCMParentsandGrandparents-Parentsetgrands-parentsCTDM.IRCC@cic.gc.ca (assuming your office is CPC Mississauga)
2) Screenshot of Online status (if under process) or Screenshot of courier tracking (if in transit).

I did the same and they granted me one month extension.

My questions are,

Is this the AOR?

I did submit the financial evaluation saying YES so that IRCC can access my CRA income. Do i have to send one again?

Thank you very much

Hi, we have similar situation. I am also Nov applicant. And I received biometric request Monday. I tried to use F# + UCI, it didn’t work. And I eventually used names + passport information and linked with GCkey. You can try this too.

Just got AOR from Mississauga today. In the letter it only mentions my dad's name (main applicant). Is that normal?

My mom got her sponsorship invite,I am preparing her docs.. can she travel while app is in progress..
If she received her PCC, biometrics and medical while she's here what to do ??
Can she do all of it from here ?

Hi All,
Mine is an inland application - Parents are currently in Canada, my timelines as below,

April 24, 2024 - Sponsorship eligibility approved
April 28, 2024 - Medical passed and updated in GCkey online
May 6, 2024 - Biometrics completed and updated in GCkey online

PCC was already submitted along with application and currently there is nothing pending from my end. It's been almost 1.5 months since Medicals and Biometrics and there is no update till now. The status in GCkey online remains the same as "We are processing your application".

Based on the posts of inland applications in this forum, decision was made within 2 weeks after medical and biometrics completion. However my application is still in the same status.

Is this normal processing time or should I contact IRCC customer care to check further on this? Can someone please respond on this?
Thanks in advance and wish you all the best!

Just got AOR from Mississauga today. In the letter it only mentions my dad's name (main applicant). Is that normal?

Yes, happened to me too. Subsequent letters have both of my parents names on them. Don't worry.
P.S. this question was already answered in this thread.

Hi everyone, pls I have a question, how can I link my application to Gckey with the XF application number. I am the sponsor of my mom. I just want to keep track of the application. I guess the XF number is a temporary one, it appears on the letters I got requesting for additional documents. Pls how can I link the application or do I have to wait for the AOR. I sent the additional docs in June. Pls somebody help me out. Thanks
