Tips for 2016 (Future) PGP Applicants

[aa20]

I am sponsoring my both parents .
Since i am making my father as Principal Applicant and mother will be dependant
Do i have to fill form 1344E for both mother and father ?

Also, does every applicant get scheduled for an interview before the final decision? Or randomly picked?

from what i know interviews is not required for pgp

What do they check in the medical exam? My friend has applied for her parents and her dad is diabetic and sometimes has irregular heartbeat. Will that affect his medical results?

General medical check up, blood and urine test and x ray (chest). If you declare about diabetics, they will give an additional test (Creatinine). My dad also had diabetics, but its not a problem. They have already passed the medical test.

In my parents' Medical Report Forms, IMM Type is Non EDE. Is this normal?

Hi, if my 15 year-old sister is included in my parents' application, doest it mean that her citizenship depends upon my parents' citizenship or she can get her citizenship earlier that them; considering they need to be in Canada 4 years out off 6?

I didn't think about this until now... My parents have visited Canada a few times in the past years (in 2005, 2008, 2012 and 2014). Every time they visited, they stayed for one or two months. So in total, they may have stayed 6 months or more. Do they have to get a police certificate from Canada and submit it? We recently received a request for a police certificate as well as for medical exams. These documents have to be submitted by Nov. 21.

Where can I find out if this is necessary? I don't really trust the CIC call centre reps.

My parents just found out they had an email from cic with medical/police check requests on Sep 29. I have 2 questions: 1) there seem to be no instructions where to send the additional docs (processing is being done in Warsaw). Should they use the generic embassy address? 2) a police certificate + its translation may take more than 3 weeks. How do we get an extension? Please help!

I received medical exam and PCC requests on Oct. 7.

Just wondering..
Once a decision is made, how soon should parents move to Canada? Will they be allowed to have some time to be prepared to move here after they receive permanent residence status?

Any idea?

I mentioned earlier that my mother got pr and her pr visa ends on May,2017 which is validity of passport.I Suppose they may be allowing upto validity of medical which is one year so one has sufficient time to migrate to Canada.

Hi, You mentionedd that your mom already got visa. DO you know if she had to write all her addresses since she turned 18 for police clearance. ?


Can anyone tell me if this is true?

My mother has mentioned addresses since 1964 when she was 25 years of age.

Yes this is normal. Parents and Grand-Parents (sponsorship program) are subject to non-EDE IMM Type.


EDE = Excessive Demand Exempt


EDE

EDE clients are those who are exempted from assessment of excessive demand on the Canadian health care system.

However, EDE clients are assessed for:
•Danger to public health;
•Danger to public safety.

Non-EDE

Non-EDE clients are assessed for:
•Danger to public health;
•Danger to public safety;
•Excessive demand on the Canadian health care system. <---------------- PGP

Canadian Visa never exceeds the validity of the passport.

For Super VISA stay extension , I filled out the eligibility wizard and they asked me to submit proof of financial support . Since I am supporting my mother and she is already here , is there any letter of support that I need to send them OR just my pay stubs , letter of employment and one proof showing parents name should be okay ? Could someone give me full list of documents ? Thanks

My mom stayed in Canada on SuperVisa for 3 months in 2012, 17 months in 2014-16 and has been staying for last 3 months of 2016. Singapore-VO never asked for any PCC from Canada. It specifically mentioned PCC (Bangladesh) in the email on 10-Aug-2016.

As far I know, LVO will mention in the correspondence if parents require PCC from Canada. Otherwise, you won't have to submit one.
