Tips for 2016 (Future) PGP Applicants

[kilamans]

Hi all,
I sent PCC for my parents via Canada Post registered email to New Delhi Visa Office. I was hoping that I will be able to track it as it requires signatures. However, since thw package landed in Delhi more than a week ago, there is no tracking progress or status changes. The last status shows- "International shipment has arrived in a foreign country- INDELA"
Calling up Canada Post hasn't helped. Has anyone else used registered mail from Canada Post to send documents to India. Is the tracking available once documents reach India?

Did CIC - Delhi, asked you to send the original/copy of the pcc in mail/post to them?
everyone is asked to send a scan copy of it via email

Is there a website of Indian post where you can check? When I send something to USA or Russia I have to go to local post website once it crosses the border of country of destination.

The problem is that CanadaPost has not given me any local tracking number that will work in India. I googled a lot yesterday, though I did not find a concrete explanation, my assumption is that tracking does not work for registered mail for international parcels- which is strange and would have been helpful had they told me that when I was sending the mail through them.

You're right there's no tracking for registered mail for international parcels (post to post) unless you send it thru courier (like Fedex..etc.)

Thank You, I'll keep on checking.
BTW do you check ECAS using UCI or Application # or both ?

@ztariq

I got the Pic request around July 4th. Keep checking ECAS and attach the application with the CIC account in case if they have wrong email address you will still get the message through CIC account.

Hello all,

I have two questions regarding to parent sponsorship I appreciate if you answer them.
1-Should only one person (sponsor OR cosigner) have the minimum income or it can be a combination of two?
More clearly I mean is it possible to apply if the income of me PLUS my husband respects the minimum amount?

2-Does having a bank account with some investments help in the sponsorship application?

Thanks a lot

Hi, how do you link ECAS to a cic account- would it be my cic account or my parents?

Hi,
1- If sponsor meets the minimum income requirement,you do NOT need co-signer.So it can be only Sponsor or Sponsor & co-signer depending on your income.
2- If the investment gives you any return annually, it can be considered as your income.

Thanks for your response.
Regarding to my first question the problem is that neither me nor my husband have the minimum income. However the SUM of our incomes respects the limit. Do you think we will not be eligible to sponsor my mom?

@Praveen:
When I click nothing happens. Do you think it's because you're not from BC?
Thanks in advance.

Sum must be equal or greater than the minimum requirement.
