Hi everyone,

Thank you for his forum, very useful.

I applied to sponsor my parents back in Jan 2014.

Just got request to send the passport over for the visa.

I would appreciate if someone cat tell me, once in the passport, how long is the visa valid, is 30 days only? I am a bit afraid they will have to land right in the middle of the winter.

Thank you

Flori

Congratulations!! Usually the visa is valid a year from the time your parents took their medicals or the expiry of their passport, whichever is sooner.

-If you have any non-accompanying dependants who were 22 years of age or above and unmarried at the time of the sponsorship, complete the Non-Accompanying Adult Son/Daughter Additional Information Form attached to this letter.

Is below required information is for all adult son/daughter or dependent son/daughter of principal applicant ??

Strange thing happened today, I received an envelope from the embassy in London with my parents Marriage certificate. No status update on CIC, and no other letter or communication from the embassy since the last request for documents:

Applied: Jan 2014
Confirmation: Jul 2014
File Moved to London Visa Office: June 2016
Medical Request: Aug 2016
Medicals done in Canada via e-Medical as Parents were visiting me here in Canada: Aug 2016
Received Request for additional forms and police certificate : Aug 2016
Submitted documents: Sep 2016
Received Request for additional documents for dad : Oct 2016
Documentation received by embassy: Oct 2016 (based on tracker on courier)
Received parents marriage certificate back from embassy: Nov 2016

Any idea what could be going on?
 
Today I checked my parents' MyCIC account and seeing the following update:

Where is this application? Details
Application/profile status Closed
Review of eligibility Passed
Review of medical results Passed
Review of submitted documents
Scheduling an interview
A background check is needed Complete
Final decision This application has been approved

Hopefully they will get their passports back from SVO with visa soon.
 
My parents did their medical in June but no passport request yet.. Review of eligibility still in progress @ Ottawa.
 
Did you receive exactly same e-mail as below ?

I believe in my case they asked only for adults, didn;t mention anything regarding dependents

Please advise.

Hello Everyone;

Today my in-laws received the passport request. They have been requested to send passports to New Delhi Visa Office. Two questions on this passport request:
(1) This request mentions only my father-in-law's name and his UCI number. Application number also mentioned. However,my mother-in-law's name or her UCI is not mentioned in this letter. Can you please let me know whether this request cover both of them or will she get a separate request for passport submission later?
(2) This passport request did not mention anything about "Appendix B". There are only two people on this application. Do we need Appendix B?

Many thanks for your help,

Sridhar.

@Sridharji,

Congrats for receiving PPTs request for your parents-in -law.

Please note that request for PPT is addressed to PA only.He /She has to make compliance to the instruction which also covers the dependent accompanying members included in the original application. No separate instruction is imparted for the dependent accompanying member.

So, please do not worry. Ensure to send the PPTs through VFS Canada office located near the place of applicant's residence as under:

1. Cover letter detailing PPTs + UCI nos of PA AND accompanying members.

2. Copy of email recvd. from CPO-Ottawa.

3. PPTs in original.

4. Two photographs each of PA and the accompanying members as per specification in the email or alternatively VFS OFFICE has facility to get the photographs with the required specifications( 2"x 3" or 5 cm X 7 cm )

5. Submission of APPENDIX B does not seem to be an indispensable requirement for all. It is case specific,I reckon or may be Visa Office specific requirement.Information in APPENDIX B , in all probability, is required for printing of COPR.


VFS office will provide PASSPORT TRACKING reference which keeps us updated. Besides, as and when process is complete,the given Mob # will get a massage wrt dispatch of the PPTs +individual COPR. It takes ten-fifteen days to get BACK the VISA DOCS.

Hope, this may help u.

Good luck. God bless all !!!!
