Thank you so much for your response. But when I enter my information for the gckey, and I want to link an application, system could not find my application :( is it because I have not get the CSQ?
no, you are probably doing something wrong ! the big confusion is the number of people on the application field.

this would be and your cosigner + the number of people you are sponsoring !

in my case it was just me sponsoring my mother so that was number 2 to be entered there.

Hello,

My father was requested to go back to his physician for additional requirements (nephro report) to complete the assessment of our application. If he has issues with his kidney (hoping otherwise), will that be a ground for refusal?

Just to clarify, the Right of Permanent Residence fee was not yet included on the payment made when I sent the application, correct? I am little confuse now as I am getting a lot of communication from our LVO.

Our brother who is below 19 should pay for the right of permanent residence too?

Appreciate the help.

You are right...after multiple attempts till date I was able to link my app now...below is what i did...

1> Selected APP # and Family name...
2> Kept City and Country of Birth as BLANK
3> Entered Passport details of Principal Applicant
4> Entered Other application Details and in that..."Number of family members"..mentioned this time as 4...instead of 6 as my family numbers are as below...

Myself (Sponsor)+Wife (Co-Signer)+ 2 Kids+Parents (Father and Mother)

CIC considered total number as 4 instead of 6...though i mentioned 6 in the application package...i.e. including 2 kids.

My status shows as:

Application/profile status: "Open"

Review of eligibility: "Not Started"

@dchoudh does it show same for you?

I suppose whosoever has not received Sponsorship Approval would be seeing the status as above.

Your brother doesn't have to pay RPRF as he is your parents' dependent. See below:

Principal applicants (with some exceptions) and spouses and common-law partners coming with them to Canada must pay this fee. Applicants must pay this fee before CIC issues the permanent resident visa or before the applicant becomes a permanent resident in Canada.

These people do not have to pay this fee:

dependent children of a principal applicant or sponsor, a child to be adopted, or an orphaned brother, sister, niece, nephew or grandchild; and
protected persons, including Convention refugees.

Yes, we applied in 2016. Part of the first 5000 batch.
Congrats.. I wish my parents visa was being sponsored by Pretoria seeing as they live in Joburg. And not New Delhi.
Anyway, I want to ask, when you say you got the PR ... How exactly was this communicated to you? Email or an actual letter saying to go to the embassy/consulate?

I take my words back :-[...actually when you link the application to the second account...it gets un-linked from the first...so at any point of time...it is linked to only 1 account...
