Hi Everyone,
I received Biometrics request on Friday and today I get it done for my parents.
Today I received another email which has the following information requested along with biometric.

inadmissible and meet the requirements of the Act.

Furthermore, Subsection 16(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act states that: “A person who makes an
application must answer truthfully all questions put to them for the purpose of the examination and must produce a

After a preliminary review of your application, the following has been deemed required:
Please provide the current residential address for yourself and your dependant family member (if applicable). You
must report any changes to your address, telephone number(s) and email address immediately throughout the

I got some emails about requests of medical exam, biometrics, and police certificate during weekend.
And finally I can link the application with UCI and application number after several trials by putting a wrong number at a section of "Number of family members".

Here's my question.
The letter says the applicant needs to upload Police certificate from the country which is marked on the letter, but I don't see the message in linked application. Then I cannot upload a police certificate for now. I don't know if it will take some time to be updated in the page.

Do you have any experience to have this issue?

Thanks in advance.

THPA

Hi
Hope you are well. What do you mean when you said 2024 applications? I thought that we could not apply since 2020 as that was the last time anyone could apply and get in the pool for lottery pickings? And this is 5th consecutive year we can't apply and get into the pool?
Click to expand...
m well, hope you are too, thanks. applied in 2020, got invited to apply parents PR in 2024. Did that but no response yet. So, I was hoping that I will get a response like ADR/ACR/PCC etc as the new invites will be sent in 2025, praying that they would try to clear the backlog - like they start processing the 2025 applications but for some of the 2024 applicatns they have not even started to review the submitted applications. I understand that immigrant parents are a burden on Canadian economy and the whole process takes 3+ years.

Hi All,
I had got a Biometric request (17 Feb, 2025) and a PCC request on Feb 21, 2025 for my mother's PGP application. She did her Biometrics already on Feb 21st and i can see it got updated on the GC Key account (IRCC secure account) already as well.

IRCC indicated that by March 23rd both PCC and Biometrics are required but her PCC is taking a bit longer to get. I had applied for her PCC on Feb 21st itself but its still stuck at police verification stage and looks like i wont get it by March 23rd.

I looked around on the forums and Youtube and some people have suggested to upload proofs of PCC application submission (receipts, email followups etc.) and request IRCC for a bit more time so they don't reject the application. Is anyone in the similar situation who has requested IRCC for more time for PCC submission? I am trying to get PCC asap but its just the process itself in India takes a bit long.

This is what people have been doing. I haven't seen anyone saying that IRCC do not accept this and refuse for PCC that's submitted later.
Just send them the receipts and a letter of explanation.

Hey everyone, hope you can help me with a simple question. We just did our medical exam a couple of weeks ago. And have not heard anything (no letters or correspondence to our e-mails). However, when checking the account updates on IRCC, the latest update is "you passed the medical exam (with the date)".

I don't want to get my hopes up only to be disappointed. My question is do they send you a letter stating that you passed the medical exam, or does it just update on the IRCC site only? I don't want to get falsly excited about a weird glitch or anything like that. Thank you in advance!

Hi Guys, A quick question, my parents have super visa and they have been India since we submitted the file, and are currently waiting for background check to complete.
Can they come to Canada and deposit their Passports in Canada if they are prompted to send their passport?
