Question for everyone:
Would it be beneficial for processing timeline if I apply for my parents after they are in Canada on visitor visa? Or the timeline is same regardless of wherever they are in the world?

Does the country of processing depend on where the applicant is or the sponsor?

@csvinayak @Naturgrl would appreciate some help here please

Doesn’t matter. Processing is around 21 months if outside Quebec.

Your mother becomes PA. There is no secondary applicant. Your grandfather is not part of the application. You would have submitted a profile for him separately in 2020 to be in the pool.

Hi, I have a question regarding form IMM0008, where it asks about my parents, that if they have lived more than 6 months outside their country of citizenship or residence. And I understand from guide that this time is cummulative even if each stay is less than 6 months.

In my case, my parents have visited me multiple times for an average of 2-3 months, cummulative is well over 1.5 years, out of which 1 stay was also more than 6 months. now my question is that in status of immigration i choose, visitor? and also start date and end date should be visa date? also they both had 2 visitor visas, as old passports expired, so do I mention both Visas stamped with start and end date?

You need to mention exact dates they travelled and stayed more than 6months in one visit. (No cummulative)

That is not corrrect! Everyone has been waiting to get their parents sponsored! Who said it is only people who are in the pool who are waiting. What is unfair is that there are many Canadian Citizens who are eligible to sponsor but for any reasons they are not in the pool of 2020 and now they have zero chance ! While Permanent residents (not even citizens) could have chance until 2020! For example a permanent resident who got their PR cards in 2020 and have 1 year of income (some provinces require one year) had a chance and some even invited their parents! So PLEASE STOP ABOUT EXPLAINING WHAT IS FAIR AND WHAT IS NOT FAIR!

Did they tell us if you don't register in the 2020 you will have zero chance in the future to sponsor your parents? NO they did not!

Dear, if someone has not applied in 2020, that person was most probably not eligible. There is no point being aggressive in your reply.
That being said, I still advocate to open this PGP system next year for all and improve the selection process based in the eligiblity and the wait time.

For spousal sponsorship pls join https://chat.whatsapp.com/CdVMAGhIPZJ3mdxBEcbrpY

But this is not a spousal sponsorship nor a TRV / supervisa thread. Do you understand what PGP is?

 

[Naturgrl]

For TRV and supervisa join https://chat.whatsapp.com/Ldw2PBlvOQw9oJcisf3V5u

Spammer! 20+ posts on threads having no relation to TRV/Supervisa. Reported.

The government likely didn’t know they would be closing the pool for numerous years. The ficus was on Covid and announcing PGP2020 before the election that year. The government is attempting to find a way to prioritize people be the demand for spots is nowhere close to the amount of spots available and with the recent increase in newcomers the demand will continue to increase. The healthcare infrastructure is also crumbling so attending more seniors who have not lived and worked in Canada while others can’t access care may become very difficult to justify. There are millions of taxpayers in Canada without GPs for example. The government needs to be honest with people that parent sponsorship is no guaranteed and people should only move to Canada knowing parent sponsorship may not be possible.

They likely didn't know? That's probably because their minister kept changing - from Ahmed Hussen to Sean Fraser annd now Marc Miller! Each person in office for such a brief period.
