Good News guys, My parents received a call from immigration officer today that their passports are ready.
My parents medical is expiring on 22 JAN so the officer said "either you reach Canada by 22nd or I will be sending the re-medical papers again". Obviously , parents will be reaching here by 22nd now. So happy. It was a loooong wait. finally over this whole waiting game.
