Many of you have been asking the question whether PCC is required from Canada if the parents have lived here for 6 months or longer.

My parents have remained here on Super Visa since December 2021 and I only gave IRCC a police certificate from the home country, and IRCC specifically asked for that in a letter. When i visited the local RCMP Office they said they will not issue a criminal record check unless IRCC specifically asks for it.

And based on the home country police certificate my parent's application has gotten as far as "Medical exam cleared'. I doubt that IRCC will now ask for a criminal record check from Canada.

So for all those who are wondering what to do I would say do not waste time, money and effort in getting a criminal record clearance from Canada unless you're specifically asked for.

Hi guys my dad had a super visa in his passport but due to the request tp extend his passport expiry for PR application he got a new pass does anyone know if he could still travel with the suoervisa in his old pss? I appreciate ir help
Yes my parents were in similar situation, along with the new passport they placed a cancel seal on the old passport which clearly says any visas on the old passport are valid for travel. This is for India, but i would think most countries should have similar passport/visa rules.

Hi
Just wanted some info from you reg medical request.

I received medical request letter. I am principal applicant and medical IME form is just with my name.. Dependant IME form is not sent and not appearing in GCKey login.
Is your case with principal and dependant applicant too and did you receive 1 or 2 forms?
Information on this from any member on this forum regarding this would be highly appreciated....
You need to have 2 separate forms for each.

Hi Shankar,

Can you please tell me if you are getting these detailed messages from Application Tracker or the linked IRCC account? I don't see these detailed messages in the IRCC account and when I try to access the tracker it says application not found. Note that I received the sponsorship approval and AOR a month ago, your help is appreciated!

I got a request for additional documents (Adhar card, voter id etc) on March 22nd 2024 and I have responded to the email on April 10th, 2024 and received an automated response from IRCC which doesnt mention about acknowledgeent of documents.

  • Is there a way to confirm that they received documents? Do we have a helpline number for getting in touch with them as I am sponsor and representative on the application
  • I haven't yet received AOR for my application and the application in the PR portal still shows "Submitted" is it normal?
  • I have only XF number and is it possible to see progress of application anywhere? Any portal or link where I can do that?

My timeline is -

I am requesting to add me as representative for my parents so that I can follow up on status if needed. I filled the web form Use of representative (IMM5476) for my parents but I got a message from CIC saying that form is not complete. I checked many times and I could not figure out anything missing in the form.
Do the online signatures work or does it have to manual signatures on paper and then scan the document and attach it ?
