Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2019

[hari_13]

Great thanks for your detailed answers MaddyBhatia1041!

Regarding Question#1 on PGP always being via lottery sounds bad .. Do you have any data on what's the probability of securing the lottery. i.e., is like a 50% chance of getting through in the first year, or that usually it take 2-3 years (of course its lottery, so I understand that one may never get a chance even in 10 years in theory assuming the lottery is annual)

Regarding Question #2, thanks for info on income requirements.

Regarding Question #3, the 2-year PR wait is sad too ... When I check Canada official portal it shows 121 days (6 months) but looks like you are predicting that my PR will be 2 year and parents PR will also be another 2 years (note: my question is mainly on pre-covid timelines, I understand that covid has messed up thing since 03/2020 but I hope things to 'get back to normal' at some point in future)

A simple work permit takes 3 weeks though (per https://ibb.co/1RX2fNR)

thanks,

Hi Hari
As per my knowledge PR for parents is purely lottery basis , it was First Come First Serve in 2019 only.

Secondly, you have to have sufficient income as per guidelines depending upon the number of family members in your household including your parents.

Thirdly, now a days PR is taking beyond processing times. CiC says 20 to 24 months but due to COVID they don't provide any time frames even 2019 applications are under process.

Lastly, As you have to prove you income for 3 years with all 3 NOA's . You have to work here for 3 odd years.

Experts - please correct if I am wrong !!

Good Luck Hari..

Hi Everyone,

I applied for my parents file in 2019. As of now, the ecas status says below:

1. We received your application for permanent residence on June 18, 2019.

There has been no update in the past almost 2 years? Most of the posts that I see here are at far more advanced stage.
Is the timeline of my parents file normal?

Mine says the same . June 17,2019

Good day,

Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.

We verified the information you provided and can confirm that the application is still in process.

All the required documents and information have been received by the responsible office for the moment.

Due to the ongoing situation related to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), some IRCC offices are currently operating with reduced or critical staff only.

We are working on processing applications as quickly as possible; however, processing times are affected and any disruption caused by COVID-19 is not reflected accurately on our website. We will make all the necessary efforts to finalize the application as soon as possible.

Rest assured that you will be informed as soon as a decision is reached or if additional information is needed.

Furthermore, please note that there are two ways you can check your application status online. You can verify the status of your application:

Help needed.
Can we ask for re-medical exempt due to COVID? Any one has any success?

Medical passes and expired a year ago.
Parents live alone in home country, exam has to be done in a different city than where they live and need to stay overnight. No one can take them.
I cannot fly back in middle of pandemic to take them to the exam. (More because the home country is restricting travellers, so I will be denied entry at the port

Any advice is appreciated

Hi Team, This is a revert I got from NDVO. Can you suggest with your experience how much time it may take to get all this steps done...

You only got approved as a sponsor and nothing happened after. Unfortunately, there is currently no timeline for processing PGP applications.

I believed this response you received is from your MP. After you sent your file to Ottawa it got moved to CPC-Missisuaga for further processing. Your file is not in NDVO.

Were your parents in Canada, when you sent this application? I have noticed many applications got stuck when they were talking to waveoff Biometrics for applicants already in Canada but, eventually started taking bio at Service Canada.

I'm into same boat, and I believe there are many more. They are only processing the applications which they are half through. I don't know when they will be looking at these applications, but definitely they are not going to prioritize these anytime soon.
Only option I see.

I would say keep emailing your MP, every month, although they ask to wait 3 months. Keep calling ircc every now and then.

Other than waiting I don't think we have any option left.

What documents were asked for?

Adhaar Card, Voter ID and some documents to be sent in again

provide the projected time period of your stay (dd/mm/yy to dd/mm/yy).

2. If not, any template?
3. How do I respond? (I am the sponsor and their representative)
4. Residential address would be where are are living currently in their home country? Please confirm

Any additional advise please

Thanks.
