how long was your mother stay in Canada ? My mother only came here for 2 months so i thought doesnt make sense to update address ... Second medical was passed 1st June which was done in Canada .. she is leaving back end of June .. should i advise address change now ? what do you suggest ... Thanks !!

My mother is here since end of November. Due to its hard to coordinate sending passport and then wait long to receive back, I thought of her staying more. I have asked to change the address in January but response was quick to change and set up pr portal but taking very long to get any response after uploading pr photos.

If there is no PR status, will ohip still applicable? Technically my mother is still visitor here. Still PR portal after more than 3 months has still showing status of in review with ircc. Is it normal?

If you have any communication from IRCC mentioning that PR application has been approved, you can apply for OHIP. This is according to a Service Canada employee. I think there is no harm in take the emails/letters to Service Canada and ask them.

Which VO is your application at?

 

[Feb2004]

In our case, second medical was cleared in January 2022, additional documents with 2nd PCCs were all submitted by early May 2022. Any idea when can we hear about decision made? Parents are already on visitor record and have applied for another extension. VO is CPC-M.

After the passport submission request, once we receive the passport back from IRCC, what else we need to wait for? or I can book the flights for my parents to enter the country?

I got my very first communication 2 weeks ago. However, prior to that it was radio silent for almost the whole 3 years. They did not even bother to answer the two requests for GCMS notes. (Previous notes showed no red flags). Constantly emailing MP and filing those feedback form at least once a month. I basically tried everything everyone suggested and still 0 response. I even emailed the minister...lol

Based on someone here suggesting to do upfront medical (to remind them of the app) we had planned on doing it and already got a date and then boom! I get medical request.

It is mentally draining and I have decided to try and distract myself and focus on other things.

Sucks!!!

Sorry to hear this my friend! You rightly said, it is mentally draining! Can’t wait to be done with extremely painful process.

Does anyone know what happen if we forget to add the Height & Eye Colour of the Principal Applicant & accompanying dependant to the passport submission package?

Yes, you can plan their landing within the valid visa date.

Hi all have some questions.

My parents received ecopr in December. We took the pictures and uploaded for pr cards still waiting for pr card after 6 months. What can I do to get the pr cards ? Can I travel with them to USA and come back if I don't have pr cards?

 

[Rcdcosta]

For parents landing next month, do they need to wait for few months before applying for OHIP card or are they eligible to apply upon landing? I know some categories required 3 months wait but then I heard it was relaxed during COVID so does anyone know what the latest is?

Can someone guide .. if any risk to change address at this final stage of the application ? will they move the whole file from london embassy to canadian in land embasy ?

I'm wondering this, also. My mother just got her pre-arrival letter and medical request a few weeks ago. The mailing address is in Canada but her regular address is in Brazil, and she's currently here in Canada waiting for it all to conclude. Should I change her address or will this only delay things?

Also, please update tracker @robertp ! May 27, 2022 - received medical request June 14, 2022 - Medicals passed
