Parents & Grandparents Program(PGP) 2024

[tulip07]

HI Folks,
Can anyone respond to this, if you know how this works.
MY parent had submitted her Passport, photos to get PR Visa stamped in November. ( all other requirements and processes are complete, including PCC, Medical etc.). She had recieved a letter from IRCC to submit her passport ( from a country that needs visa). However after 4 weeks in December, she has received the courier from VFS, with her Passport and photos back, but no stamp in the passport or any other letter of explanation.
Do you know if this is normal. And what are the next steps.
I did send an email to IRCC, and I am yet to get a response.

???

Is there a sticker in the passport?

There is no sticker in the passport. Even both the photos are returned.

Assume you are their representatives, you can call the hotline and speak to one of the operators to see if there's further information.

Hello,
I was not having the required income for 2023 tax year.. but i changed my Numbers with CRA before .. the cut over date of Aug 2, 2024
Question:
1.CRA gave me NOA before August 2, 2024 but date mentioned was Aug 10,2024 ... will my application be considered...? I also attached the new NOA from CRA with my application...

“changed my numbers” is a nice way to describe committing tax fraud. Up to IRCC and also CRA to determine if you trigger an audit.

Assume there was likely an error and passport was incorrectly requested. Yes I would send a webform verifying why passport was requested and whether there was an error. May take month to hear back.

No AOR yet but we got ADR for both of our applications. 1 application was submitted July 21 and the 2nd on July 27.

Hi What is ADR?

 

[Shebby54]

Hello, still waiting for aor. Application sent around 23 or 24 july.

Anyone else still waiting?

I am still waiting, I applied on august 2 but no update yet.
Did you get any update?

Hi What is ADR?

It stands for Additional Document Request. Basically IRCC asks you to submit some documention if they require further information or supporting documents to process your application.

Will those applications that have been submitted be affected by the new changes to pgp?

 

[Aspiring Canadian]

We got an additional doc request and are waiting for aor will we be affected?

 

[canuck78]

Will those applications that have been submitted be affected by the new changes to pgp?

Did you read the announcement? It clearly says no.

 

[Aspiring Canadian]

Did you read the announcement? It clearly says no.

“Only a maximum of 15000 will be accepted for processing” thus why wording on announcement is unclear

“Only a maximum of 15000 will be accepted for processing” thus why wording on announcement is unclear

15k for 2025. Which means processing will likely slow down.
