I received this letter from CPC-Ottawa " Please be advised the visa is valid until 2016/07/19. You need to land in Canada before or on that date. Please submit the passports and photos as soon as possible."

This letter was date June 8, 2016 and my parents submitted there passports through VFS on June 15,2016 as that was the only option to submit the passports as per the letter. VFS was supposed to send the passports to the High Commission of Canada in New Delhi.

I have not received the passports as of today. I am little concerned as i have already booked the tickets for July 12, 2016.


When my parents received the automatic text message from VFS, it showed " Visa application with tracking id xxxx has been forwarded to the Canada Visa Office,Chandigarh on 16/06/2016." When i track the application, it shows " Your application is being processed at New Delhi".

I am little confused about this.

Also, How long does it take to get the passports back??
 
Hi Guys,

Please kindly help me out here.. Here's the time line :
The application was received in January 2011 and started processing Aug 2015. It's been almost a year and we haven't heard anything regarding medical request. Is that normal or should I get inquiry letter written by MP?

Thank you :)
 
Hello my friends, here is my status. I applied for parents sponsorship when I was single on 2011. I meet LICO2011. I got married and has 2 children since then. Last year CIC asked for the update of the documents and they asked for tax return of 2011, 2012, 2013 and I submnitted them all on time. I have talked to one of CIC call centre agents today and she informed me that I need to satisfy the new LICO rule with 30% top up, which I cannot comply on my own. Can CIC change the LICO requirement like this? I should say that I did not add my wife as a co-signer, but if I need to satisfy new LICO then I need her to be my Co-signer. I would appreciate your comments. Thanks!

if you applied in 2011 the old rules apply to all applications that were accepted upto 5th November 2011. The call centre agent has given you the wrong information. you have nothing to worry about as long as your income is met as per the OLD rules of LICO.

Interviews are very rare in parent sponsorship cases. Once medicals are cleared and security checks are completed you will get passport request.
Hopefully it will come soon.

Hello everyone,
I am here little bit frustrated ???
I had applied for my parents in Jan 2016. My application status says "Application Received".

But I haven't heard anything from CIC yet. No acknowledgement letter nothing..... >:(

If anyone knows what to do in this situation.....?

Or if anyone can help me to understand the procedure... please...
 
Hi Sagar,

As CIC have stopped accepting new applications so you have to wait till Jan 2017, there will be an update on CIC site by end of November intimidating when they start accepting new applications and if there is any change in process or number of applications that will be accepted.

Keep an eye on forms as they are changed sometimes, so check for them in December and make sure you have all the required docs in your hand by 2nd week of December.

Hope this help you.

Thanks for the response. So shall I take the listed documents into consideration now and keep the file ready accordingly so that most of things are done. Later if any changes are needed for 2017 guidelines it can be addressed.

Hi everyone, I need some help, I'm already living here in manitoba for 2 years and i want to sponsor my mother but the problem is i filed her name incorrectly during the processing of my application because we found out recently that the name she is using is different on her birth certificate. currently using name "normita" on birth certificate is "norma" what is the best way to do to correct it. because we thought that is her real name.this probably happened because during mom my was birth the technology was still not advance at all:-X

my mother has already a passport under the name of norma but on my previous application it was normita. she has the affidavit from the lawyer about her issue in birth certificate. anyone who can give me an advise thanks.
