Tips for 2016 (Future) PGP Applicants

[IndoCanadian777]

I have written the New Delhi office easily three times in the last 4 months. My Medicals and police were sent back in August and they haven't even started the background check. Every time I just get an email back saying there is nothing required by me I am in line to be reviewed by an officer they will contact me once that is complete. Low and behold it's now April end and I checked today and still no background check started

Thanks

Same!! Frustrating

Pls Help!! I received a letter today.

This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada sponsored by ***

Subsection 13 (1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act states that a Canadian citizen
or permanent resident may, subject to the regulations, sponsor a foreign national who is a
member of the family class.

Section 120 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations states that for the purposes
of Part 5 of the Regulations,

(a) a permanent resident visa shall not be issued to a foreign national who makes an
application as a member of the family class or to their accompanying family
members unless a sponsorship undertaking in respect of the foreign national and
those family members is in effect; and

(b) a foreign national who makes an application as a member of the family class and
their accompanying family members shall not become permanent residents unless a
sponsorship undertaking in respect of the foreign national and those family members
is in effect and the sponsor who gave that undertaking still meets the requirements of
section 133 and, if applicable, section 137.

Subsection 133 (1) of the Regulations states that a sponsorship application shall only be
approved by an officer if, on the day on which the application was filed and from that day until
the day a decision is made with respect to the application, there is evidence that the sponsor
(j) if the sponsor resides
(i) in a province other than a province referred to in paragraph 131(b),
(B) has a total income that is at least equal to the minimum necessary
income, plus 30%, for each of the three consecutive taxation years
immediately preceding the date of filing of the sponsorship application, if
the sponsorship application was filed in respect of a foreign national who
is
(I) the sponsor’s mother or father,
(II) the mother or father of the sponsor’s mother or father, or
(III) an accompanying family member of the foreign national described in subclause (I) or (II), and

We have information on file that your sponsor (and co-signer, if applicable) did not demonstrate having a total income that meets the requirements noted above for each of the three consecutive taxation years immediately preceding the date of filing of the sponsorship undertaking, and that your sponsor is therefore ineligible to sponsor you. Accordingly, it appears that you do not meet the requirements of section 120(b) of the Regulations.

Any evidence or submission which you or your sponsor may wish to provide to address the above concern should be sent to this office within 30 days from the date of this letter. If no correspondence is received within the period specified, a decision will be made based on the information available on your file.

On the last paragraph, What kind of evidence?

You've said in several previous posts that you don't meet the income requirements to sponsor your parents. So unfortunately there's really no evidence you can provide to address the last paragraph. CIC is preparing to refuse your application. That's really what this letter means.

Hi All,

Just wanted to inform everybody that today my parents got the visa today along with COPR. Thankyou everybody.

Few questions:

1. How long is the wait for getting PR card. Immigration website says 45 days how true is that. I'm planning to get book their return tickets so what is the safe option.
2. On COPR final destination is <city name> and in sponsor section my details are there along with my address. Is it possible for them to change the address for the PR card when they do the landing OR they do the landing and I change the address on immigration website or phone CIC or their address change.

Hope to get answers soon.

my mother got the request for further medical examination ...
She had Hepaticis C in the past and was cured. she told the panel doctor about it. the results showed that Hepaticis C antibodies test was reactive but the HCV RNA was not detected (means not actively infected with HCV)... do you think this might be the reason for the further exam request or could be something else. please advise as I'm little bit worried... she will meet the doctor next week. thanks.

My in-laws landed at the end of February, got their PR couple weeks ago. It looks like 45 days is true.

They also asked that sponsor (myself) should pay RPRF fees. They said I can do it online, but I am struggling whereabout there. Any ideas?
thank you

So I got this email from Delhiimmigration today:

Dear Sir/Madam,

This is in response to your recent email enquiry to the Immigration Section of the High Commission of Canada in New Delhi, India.

Please note that this file is with the case officer for review. There is currently no action required on your part. We will contact you as soon as the review is complete. Until then, we will not be able to provide any additional information on this application.

We trust that this information will be of assistance.

But when I log into cic I still do not see the background check has been started. Not sure if they haven't updated it online or exactly what is happening

I have been getting this same reply from Delhi last November, don't see BC in progress.
Before that they said your file is in queue for review.

My parents file have been transferred to New Delhi in February and still no request for PCC, IME etc.
