Tips for 2016 (Future) PGP Applicants

[Rossei]

Sorry for the stupid question, but where can I find MyCIC page? I only can see Check My Application status as a Sponsor. Is there a way to get more details?

MyCIC: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/e-services/account.asp


BTW, all useful links are shared in our timeline SS (see below in my signature).

Congrats Dadaum #2 !!!

So, is it NDVO your visa office for Dadaum #2?
In the SS, both app (#1 & #2) have Ottawa as LVO.

No dadaum2 and mine both visa office is Otava.But we are provided both the options ie NDVO or Ottawa for sending Passport.

hello,

I have a question. I am waiting for MED and PCC. My parents are with me in Canada now. But before they leave home country they get their PCC from home country (about 2 and half months ago). Do you think it is ok if I submit that when I will be asked for PCC?

Also last year they stayed one year in Canada and I got the PCC from Canada at the end of their stay. Do you think I should get a new one or that one works?

Thanks for your help.

Usually pcc is valid for 6 months, you should be able to find that info somewhere on cic page.

For pcc within Canada, wait until they ask for it first, if they do then you might need to do the one that includes fingerprints. Info are on cic.gc.ca as well

Did anyone have to get PCC from USA? If so, was that hard from outside USA?

What are the next steps for applicants who are in Canada and getting their landing visa from Ottawa? Does Ottawa office tell next step on entering Canada as landed immigrant?

Hi! I am planning to sponsor my parent. I am currently in Canada and was outside Canada for around 8 months in 2014. I meet minimum income criteria for 2015 and 2013, but do not meet for 2014 as I was outside Canada. Do you think I should apply with an explanation letter to CIC? Or should I wait for 2 more years?

I think you have to wait.. years in the row that you meet the LICO until during processing.

Hello Everyone,

Here's my PGP Timeline, I have a few questions listed below for fellow members:

App Received by CPC/M: Jan 4, 2016, 11:18 AM
Sponsorship In Process Date: 30-Jun-2016
Sponsorship Approved: Yes
Sponsorship Approved Date: 2-Aug-2016
Date file was transferred to LVO: 2-Aug-2016
LVO: Ottawa (I first got a notice in mail saying file is transferred to NDVO, but then later got an email with the correction saying it's actually transferred to Ottawa.)

Yesterday (29-Sep-2016), my eCas status changed to "In Process" under "Permanent Residence Application Status"

My questions are as follows:

1. How long is it usually taking for 2016 applicants to receive medicals after eCas status changes to "In Process"?
2. Would CIC ask for a PCC? Is it worth it to do it upfront? Same for Medicals, is it advisable to do the medicals upfront (if yes, how to submit them to CIC when the Medical request comes through?)
3. How do I link my application within MyCIC? I've tried numerous times but nothing works - Actually, my father doesn't have a last name and 3 out of 4 options within MyCIC Application Linking form ask for Last Name - I think that is where their system is unable to find my application. The last option asks for UCI + Application Number, I have the application number but do not know which UCI to provide? My own UCI is certainly not working, My father doesn't have a UCI yet. (My parents are living with me in Canada on Super visa.)

Thanks!

Today my status shows In Process but when I click it does not show from which date they have started processing.I do not know what will happen. I plan to obtain PCC and Medical when it shows when the processing is started

Will you do the Medicals and PCC in advance?
