Hello everyone,
We are PGP 2019 applicants and application received date is June 25, 2019
AOR is Sep 10, 2020
No update after that.

My parents arrived in Canada in Dec 2019 on visitor visa and return date was Jun 2020 but due to covid flights got cancelled and we applied for their visitor visa extension in May 2020.
On Dec 03, 2020 we received reply on visitor visa application that medical is needed IMM1017E (IMM Type - Non EDE)

Question:
1. Since we have not received medical request for PGP application, will medical for visitor application be considered for PGP application as well?
2. Inputs on cost of medical for each person in BC?

Thanks in advance

Cheers!
Yes, medical will also be applicable for pgp application.
Cost of medical will be variable between $350- 500

In a similar situation like you, haven't received anything after AOR. but don't worry, soon we will have our turn.

To answer your question:
1. Yes the medical will be considered for PGP as well only if they decided to complete your PGP file before medical expires. I would say, submit a Medical for Visitor Visa application and Update your PGP application with the same.

2. Not sure about the cost in BC, but usually costs you around $300 for each applicant.

Hello Admin,

Can you please update following details to the spreadsheet?
Username: Crown.parth#2
Medical Request IME Date: September 3rd, 2020
PCC Request Date: September 3rd, 2020
Biometrics: December 19, 2019
Medical Received Date: September 27 , 2020

I have few questions:
1. Most of the process for my parents is complete and waiting for Passport Requests for quite some time now. Is High Commission of Canada in New Delhi started sending out the Passport Requests? I was told at VFS, Ahmedabad that they only have Biometrics happening at the moment. When do these offices go on Christmas Holidays?
2. Is CIC not processing applications for 75+ years old Parents or Grandparents at the moment?

Many Thanks
Parth
