Tips for 2016 (Future) PGP Applicants

[Daniala]

Hi Everyone, Happy New Year!

The background check has been in progress since Nov. 24(or 25 or o6). I haven't received PPR yet.

When I click "submitted documents" on MyCIC, it says "replacement overdue" for police certificate which, it says, is required to upload by Nov. 21, 2016.
I didn't upload any documents because I sent PCCs on Oct. 12. I called CIC and asked them if I needed to upload PCC again on MyCIC since it was still showing 'documents required' even a while after I emailed our PCCs. She confirmed that they received the documents by email and nothing else was required at the moment and I didn't have to do anything.

Does anyone have the same message under "submitted documents" on MyCIC? I've been waiting for PPR for about two and a half months since the status changed to "background check in progress". Is this too long? Should I have uploaded them??..I'm hoping to get PPR this month..

Any ideas..?

I am in the same boat in terms of timeline. I had submitted the PCCs both on MyCIC and also through Email. Let us keep in touch on the progress and hope that we get the PPRs soon.

Has there been any movement for applicants who used Purolator lately? I havent seen any movement on my application for 6 months or so now.

Hi there. We are on the same boat. Last correspondence from them was in August 2016 stating file transfer to CPC-Ottawa. Hope to hear from them soon.

hi folks,

I just received emails (actually sent to my mother's email) from CIC-Ottawa requesting for medical examination, pay PR fee and policy clearance. Good news to me, however the problem is that my parents are Chinese but they ask for police clearnance certificate for India. My parents never been in India in their entire life. Should I contact CIC or just ignore and assume it was their typos and provide Chinese police clearance? some's suggestion may help me to decide, thanks


Police Certificate: Please provide us with a scanned copy of an original police clearance certificate for India.

Congratulations!
I have a question: I just got a message in the online account asking us to send police certificate, RPRF and do medical test. The message says "Please reply directly to this email and put your application number in the title". I have no clue what email they are talking about as this message was received in the online account. Does anyone know what email address I have to send the police certificate to?

Hello all,

I have a couple of questions I appreciate if you answer them. Me and my husband are both students but we have the minimum income which is provided by funding from our university and is valid in our tax slips.

1-will parent sponsorship application get accepted while we are students and don't have permanent jobs?
2- As documents for financial qualification is sending only the tax slips enough or I need to get letters from university as well?
3- I intend to apply if I hopefully get chosen in the pool for 2017. For this case should the financial documents be sent for 2016 or 2015? (I will be applying through Quebec which only requires ONE year of financial qualification).

Thanks

If I remember correctly while filling the forms. They dont considered incomes such as EI or any government benefits . Check the form and you will see how they calculate the real income.

Thanks for your reply.
What do you mean by EI income?
Do you have any idea about my third question?

The third question is a tricky one for this year's applicants
In 2016 I had to provide my income papers for 2015 only (for Quebec). They want an "avis de cotisation" that you receive after you fill your income tax. I got my federal approval on June 2016, so I included my 2015 income papers.
By the time you will be selected by federal government and you will receive the first approval and instructions to apply for QSC you might have your "Avis de cotisation" for 2016 ready.
What kind of a timeline you think it will be with a new lottery?

You have to see the checklist for Quebec financial evaluation!
They are also considering savings accounts that you have in case if you don't have enough income.
