Parents & Grandparents Program (PGP) 2023

[Nikhil shah]

Hello all! Looking for some input - I've sent a PCC request through BLS (Indian PCC), and I would also need one from Kenya since my mum resided there for the last 30 years. I looked through the website and it says I would need to mail the documents out and the PCC for Kenya could take about 3 months. I need to submit the documents by Aug 7th. What can I send to IRCC as I wait for the PCCs from both India and Kenya? Had I known the process is going to be this long, I would have applied sooner, but also did not know IRCC has been processing applications quickly

YOU CAN ASK FOR EXTENSION. ALSO ATTACH ANY PROOF WHICH SHOWS KENYA TAKES 3 MONTHS FOR PCC. YOU WILL BE GIVEN EXTENSION.

family information form IMM5406. It says "You (the principal applicant) must fill out this form for yourself and on behalf of any of your family members 18 years of age or older who are not already Canadian citizens or permanent residents. "

So should I not include myself (the sponsor) as I am already a Canadian citizen? I have seen people here get the following instructions to resubmit this form. This contradicts the above instructions. Should I list myself on the form anyways to be safe?

For Section B, please ensure that you include ALL children, including ALL
adopted, step-children, and those who are currently a Canadian citizen or
permanent resident, regardless of age.

This might be a generic letter that you have received as I received the same with file number. I didn’t re-submit and received biometrics a month later. You don’t have to re-submit if you’ve already submitted while applying.

Any Parents or Grand Parents going to Manitoba for the first time? I notice that now for Manitoba Health their website states "If you are moving to or returning to Manitoba from outside of Canada, coverage eligibility is based on proof of your legal status in Canada and your residence in Manitoba. Canadian citizens and permanent residents may apply for coverage from the date of arrival in Manitoba. When you apply, you will need to provide a copy of your passport and all Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada documents which have been issued to you and your spouse and minor children (under 18 years). You will also need to provide proof of your residence in Manitoba."

I remember before that it was "You are eligible for coverage on your date of arrival in Manitoba when proof of Permanent Resident Status is provided".

I called and they say might two week to the Health Card, do I have to get a private health coverage while waiting?
I hope someone from this forums are form Manitoba and can share their experience. Thanks
