guys may I ask, normally what will the CIC do for background check? my parents' case just started background check, my mom heard from someone that cic will ask her about my information, like when I first come to Canada, my marriage and work status etc, does CIC really call and ask these questions?
thanks very much

I'm aware of that.
I tried that before and CRA sent me copy of assessment. Do you know any specific way to do that? Just by calling them?
Thanks for your input. Yes, I agree things may change. I couldn't apply this year just because I needed my 2013 NOA which arrived by the time 5000 quote were filled.

I have a related question regarding my birth certificate , I plan to apply for PR in 2017 for my mother.
My birth certificate has my dad's name and he is no more with us. however my passport and transcripts has both my dad and mother's name . submitting these document, can suffice proof of relationship. Please help answer ...

Apart from all these, try to get an affidavit in support of your birth mother. Not sure who should be the affiant (you or your mother). Perhaps your mother. The affidavit will be a written sworn statement of the fact that your mother indeed gave birth to you on such date at such hospital, made by your mother under an oath and administered by a person authorized to do so by law (i.e. lawyer).

you provide your birth certificate even though your father name is on it.also provide marriage certificate of your parents. on that it will show both your mom/dad's name. this will connect the dots. on top of that you are providing transcripts and passport copy.

Thanks for reply !

Parents don't have marriage certificate , however I have other documents - like mom's medical card from india which shows dad's name will that work ?

Hey Guys! So my dad (principal applicant) received an email from Delhi immigration a couple of days back asking for his passport. My mom is the accompanying dependent and in the past (that is in case of medical and police check emails) he has received two - one for him and one for my mom. However so far he has received only one email (addressed to him with his UCI #) asking for his passport. The email does say "Please provide two (2) recent photographs along with your passports for yourself and each accompanying dependent." So does this mean this email covers my mom too? Or will we be getting another email asking for my mom's passport. I might be over thinking this.

Secondly, the email says "We are unable to issue a visa beyond the expiry date in your passport. Your passport must be valid for at least six months". Does that mean the PR expires once the passport does? What happens after the passport expires. My mom's passport is valid for another year but given the expiry clause in the email we are renewing her passport for 10 years before sending it to the LVO. Does it matter that the passport number would be different from the one we provided in all the applications? We are planning to send an accompanying letter to explain the situation. Please advice. Thanks!

Hi Friends,

I am part of 2015 applicants. My parents file is processed in the New Delhi Office. My parents are going to be in Canada for 6 months. Will transfer to Ottawa make file processing faster? Can someone guide me? Will the file be processed based on application date in Ottawa or get behind in the queue?

Hello,heeelppp please
I am applying to sponsor my parents in Jan.2017.
I have a question regarding the income:
In the form IMM5768:
Queston 8 is for the minimum necessary income which is 57,826
Question 9: my income for 2015 is 90693.00 for 2014- 61,709.89 and 2013-73,668.72.
My concern is 2014 which the requirement is 73,072 in the same time in question 9 it says if your income is lower than the amount of the minimum necessary income you do not qualify.
I am so confused? Do I qualify or not?
I am trying to call CIC but the line is busy all the time.
PLEASE HELP ME

Congrats! When did you receive the PPR email exactly? I will update the SS accordingly. For now, I put 29-Nov-2016.
Re: your question, it has already been answered. The PPR email is sent only to the Principal Applicant. And all PR applicants need to send passports and photos to the LVO.

Secondly, the email says "We are unable to issue a visa beyond the expiry date in your passport. Your passport must be valid for at least six months".

If all passports are valid for more than 6 months (close to 1 year); then you don't have to worry a thing.

Here are few things you should know:

• One needs minimum of 6 months validity remaining to enter US/Canada with most foreign passports
• Canada only gives visa (any visa) till the validity of the passport
• PR Visa is usually given till the validity of Medical. And medicals are valid for 12 months from the day it was done.
• If you choose to renew your passport after getting PR Visa in old passport, the visa will still be valid as long as you attach your old passport with new one and the visa itself is valid. FYI, visas don't expire when the passport expires.
• If you choose to renew your passport before submitting it for PR Visa stamping; it won't create any problem. It may be an issue if you have a tight deadline to submit.

I do not remember the checklist required a birth certificate from parents.

My mom does not have a birth certificate, so we only provided a copy of her passport and ID card. And we also had a note attached stating the reason why she does not have one.
We applied in 2015. Our case is almost done now.

So yeah, I would say it is ok for parents not having a birth certificate.
