I also have a similar timeline and got DM2 and pre arrival service yesterday.
Hi @jadeja great to see your file progressed to DM2 with pre arrival letter.
I had a question about timelines with consulate once the status on passport seva website says 'pcc is clear and available for issuance'. I wrote an email to consulate about pcc on friday, do we get response to our email to consulate or they act and we directly receive PCC at home?
Congratulations ...wondering when they send pre arrival letter, do they mention the passport has to be valid any period? My mother's passport is going to expire after 6 months. Not sure if I should renew it....Then I have to let IRCC know new passport information.
In my case, consulate was very lazy in issuing the PCC. I got the clear report but still they were not issuing the PCC. I wrote an email to the consulate and requested them to issue the PCC as soon as possible and gave a reason why I needed PCC immediately. I did this to minimize the delay. Consulate within two days issued my PCC and I picked it up from the BLS location. Yes, I got an email from consulate that they will immediately issue the PCC. Contacting consulate was my choice, an applicant is not required to contact them.
BLS offer courier and pick up when applying, I chose to pick up from their location.
Even if you don’t contact consulate, you are still going to get the PCC as they have to process your application. I contacted consulate to minimize the delay in the processing of PR application.

When I got the sponsorship approval, the letter stated that the passport needs to be valid for at least 12 months. Pre service letter didn’t mention about the validity of the passport and it was not applicable to us because my parents are already in Canada for a long time. I suggest renewing the passport to avoid delays in future.
Congrats. What their bio status shows. Mine still shows bio not received yet its been done for more then a month now. On the top right window on my cic account there are the bio enrolment nos. with date. Thanks
Thanks for your reply. I will renew it then. Looks like in my case, it will be a long waiting I haven't even got the SA letter. My application was received on January 25 and I received AOR September 3. Nothing after that....
Check your application to avoid common mistakes
If your parents or grandparents have dependent children
If your parents or grandparents have dependent children
- If your application includes a dependent child (under the age of 18) and one parent is not immigrating to Canada, the parent or guardian not coming to Canada must submit a signed copy of the Declaration from Non-Accompanying Parent/Guardian for Minors Immigrating to Canada (IMM 5604). You must include a piece of photo identification from the parent/guardian who is NOTaccompanying the minor to Canada. If having this form signed by the other parent is impossible (for example, their whereabouts are unknown), you must include a letter of explanation with the application. An officer will review this explanation and advise you of any next steps. Submit the additional information under “other” on your online application.
- If using a representative, this form must be provided by both the sponsor and the principal applicant. For sponsorship applications, you must complete and provide separate forms for the sponsor and principal applicant.
- For sponsorship applications, the principal applicant’s spouse or common-law partner must be included on the IMM 0008 form, whether they’ll immigrate to Canada or not.
- If you have a co-signer and they are your spouse, make sure you include a copy of your valid marriage certificate with your application. The document(s) you submit must show that the marriage was legally registered with the government where it took place.
- Note: A record of solemnization is not acceptable for marriages that were legally registered in Canada or the United States of America.
- If you are only sponsoring one parent or grandparent because the other is deceased, you don’t need to include a marriage certificate. You should include a letter explaining the situation, as well as the deceased parent’s death certificate.
- If your parents don’t have a marriage certificate, include a detailed explanation as to why you can’t provide one.
- If your parents are divorced, you can include a notarized divorce certificate to prove your parent is not a dependant of your other parent.
- Copies of passports for people being sponsored should include all the pages.
- Copies of the sponsor’s and co-signer’s passport should include the pages showing the passport number, issue and expiry dates, photo, name, surname, and place and date of birth.
- You don’t need to get translations for the stamps in passports.
- Make sure you submit a copy of your birth certificate, and (if you have included dependants in your application) the birth certificates of your family members.
- If you don’t have access to a birth certificate for someone you’re sponsoring, or the one you have doesn’t clearly show your relationship (for example, a name is incorrect), you can give a document that shows the relationship between you and your family member along with a letter of explanation. You should also still include a copy of your birth certificate.
- If you are sponsoring the mother/father of your mother/father, you must include a photocopy of your mother/father’s birth certificate, to clearly show the relationship between the two of you.
- Don’t submit an original copy of a document unless you are asked to submit one.
