    Yes, only those whose names are on the application. In your case, only your mom.

    Just checked my MyCIC Account this morning (March13) and noticed that they have updated (after two weeks from PPR) the status and all other fields: Application status.......................A final decision has been made. Please see the final decision below. Review of...

    Thanks How do you know the background check hasn't been started yet? I wouldn't rely on MyCIC Account for that! My understanding from GCMS note is that the initial background check starts as early as they open up your application for sponsorship approval and continues until Decision Made. I...

    For my in-laws, the status changed to Decision Made on the same day they received the PPR email. In my case, Decision Made appeared a day after receiving PPR email.

    No, details are the same, but my status has now changed to "Decision Made". In our case, we've never received any update beyond "medical received/passed".

    We've already got PPR and here is what "mycic account" says: Application status........We received your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you. Review of eligibility......We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility...

    Fingers crossed you will hear something very soon. FYI, mycic account still shows background check in progress. "CIC application status" has now changed to decision made (one day after I received the PPR email). In my in laws' case, we received the PPR email one day after the CIC application...

    No such thing in my GCMS form. The document has been redacted prior to release. Some fields left blank. Did you order yours after PPR? Mine is a few months old. Anyway, after 10 years of dealing with CIC, I doubt you will be able to find a uniform pattern as how they go about dealing with...

    No they never asked for that. But they asked for a detailed travel history and background since age 18 + my father's mandatory military service records (all submitted October 2016)

    Sponsoring Parents in 2015

    Thanks. I received GCMS for my parents a month ago and my understanding is that background check would have actually started as early as March/April 2015 (before they notified me of my sponsorship approval in May). They checked Canada and US first. They only asked for police certificates from my...

    Yes, such a relief... the first one (in-laws) the passports were mailed back in about a week (Ankara office). The second one (my parents), we are sending the passports to Ottawa today. Is landing within Canada still active? Does it still take longer time than flagpoling?

    Ottawa. It doesn't matter though. As long as you send your request email before the deadline they cannot say no. But may take them a few months to respond. In my case it took the CIC-Ottawa office 2-3 weeks to respond.

    So far I've requested for an extension to PCC deadline twice and am most likely going to have to request an extension for the third time soon as I'm missing the deadline again. Just send an email to CIC closer to the deadline and request an extension of your PCC submission deadline. Should be...
