PGP 2020

[DevGurgaon]

why thou they didnt say to include all pages unless someone encountered an issue in the past?

That is my interpretation of the guide - https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/application-forms-guides/guide-5772-application-sponsor-parents-grandparents.html

Search for text - "Copies of passports for people being sponsored should include all the pages."

Did they send out the invitations? Are they still doing? Or not yet?

Woyld assume there will be a few months until PGP2021 EOI opens. If an election is called would expect the EOI to be held during that period to remimd voters of the 30k spots. Would imagine IRCC would at least want to try and complete PGP2019 applications and the years beforw be adding such a large volume of applications during a short period.

But I heard that for the 2020 PGP they already start sending invtations, not sure if that's a legit info.

You heard right. All the invitations have been sent for the 2020 PGP lottery draw.

As several of us have already told you, they have finished sending all of the invites for 2020. It's done. No one else is going to be invited.

CIC has accepted scanned signatures of parents in PGP 2019 during application time.
In some cases, original signatures were requested later during processing.

Need a help on the following instruction please. Does it mean I've to submit the sponsored person's ( my father) birth certificate as well along with my birth certificate? I initially though I have to submit my birth certificate ( per IMM5771)


"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."

Parent's birth certificates were not needed in PGP 2019 if you are sponsoring parents.
Sponsor's birth certificate is the main document CIC considers for relations proof.

Dependents: None.My mother has passed away and no other dependent children

Hello everyone, I am sharing my personal checklist for PGP 2020 below. PLEASE NOTE that this is a personal checklist, specific only to my case. I have included a bit of a background to help you understand my scenario. It may or may not be applicable to someone else so please treat it only as a reference and not as a detailed instructions guide. If you have been invited to apply, the image below is basically just an alternate way of looking at the Document Checklist (IMM 5771) with a customized breakdown of what I will be submitting in my application.

I invite and encourage experts and other PGP 2020 invitees to please go through the list and kindly advise if anything is missing and/or incorrect. Kindly also suggest, if applicable, which specific photocopies will need to be made certified true copies (and where can I get them certified). I have them all in English, so I understand I do not need to translate/notarize them but what about certifying? Thank you for your time.
