Parents & Grandparents Program(PGP) 2022

I just received letter subject "Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada - Communication to client/Immigration, Réfugiés et Citoyenneté Canada - Communication auprès de la clientèle - CPCM / CTDM - OVS SPR Eligibility Decision Letter XXXXXXXX". The letter says "You have met the requirements for eligibility as a sponsor. Accordingly, the Application for Permanent Residence for your relative will be processed at CPC-Mississauga". The letter is a 5 pages long letter. It also states "Please note that the following documentation is required for your sponsored family members. If not already included in your application, please obtain and submit as soon as possible:" And it list all the documentation requirements which I already submitted all of them except the medical exam and police certificate. This is a generic letter and I guess everyone must be receiving the same letter.

My questions:
1. Do I need to take any action?
2. For the medical exam, it says "Immigration Medical Examination: The principal applicant and their dependant family member (if applicable) must each complete an Immigration Medical Examination in support of this application. Instructions for the medicals will be sent separately. Please complete all required testing within the timeframe specified on the instructions." So I need to wait for the instruction letter first?
3. For the Police certificate, should I start to work on it now? Or they will request again in future? As I know the validity of the Police certificate is only 1 year.
4. My parents now is living in Canada as a visitor for more than 6 months, do they need Police certificate from Canada?

Thanks!

Received biometric request for mom dad had already done from previous application!!

The previous application you may have done for a temporary resident visa. For PR, we need to provide it separately.

Also i have a question my mom lived in canada for more than 6 month do i need pcc from canada and india?
I know indian for sure

For now submit the PCC of India only , Even though they lived in Canada for 6 month you do not have to submit Canadian PCC until they ask , My mom and dad also lived here for about 9 months and i did some more research and asked few people in other forum link and they mentioned we do not need pcc of Canada . The only time they asked for Canadian PCC is when the name flag some thing or some one with the similar name has criminal history then they will ask you to get Canadian PCC .

I had similar issue . my dads name was different in his passport , in my birth certificate and completely different in his birth certificate, we had an affidavit created which say all names belongs to the same person . so far i have not received any query back from IRCC about name discrepancy. i think this is very common issue so they understand some document may be not exact name so we need to provide Affidavit .

Do I need to provide Affidavit as well? or only documents will work. They have mentioned in letter that affidavit not accepted as proof of relationship.

 

[Rsingh401]

Yes i have the same case my mom and dad are in india .

Received biometric request for mom dad had already done from previous application!!

Since your dad biometric is valid for 10 years they may have that already in file so they only asked for your mom . Did you provide the biometric for your dad before for any application ? like visitor visa or some thing ?

 

[immg.applicant]

Hi, I am an Ontario resident and applied for my mother on November 24, 2022. I also got the OVS SPR eligibility decision letter with the application num on April 05, 2023. They have requested a bunch of information and stated ' If not already included in your application). When I called the IRCC, it says no document was requested at this moment.
1. Do I need to provide all the documents again? (Updated residential address, RPRF, Passport/travel doc, Proof of relationship, Biometric, Medical(the request will send separately), police certificate, IMM5562 & CV)
2. My mom currently lives in Canada with a super visa. Do I need to update her residential address?
3. Police certificate - Does she need to provide both India and Canada PCC


Also, I am trying to link my application to GCKey. Do I need to create a new one? Bcz mom and I have separate GCKey. confused with which account we need to link the application to. Tried from my mom's account and couldn't link.

1. No need to provide the documents again. They need these documents if not already submitted with the application.
2. Yes, you can send a web form with application number and mention that she has super visa and is currently living in Canada.
3. IRCC will ask for the PCC and they’ll also specify the country for which PCC is needed.

URGENT request: one month ago, we received a letter asking us to fill out use of rep, and again the additional family info for both parents. We sent it off within a week as per instructions on the letter. I raised a webform asking if they have received all information to which they said they have all documents ready for officer review. Today, a month later we received almost the same letter, asking to fill out use of rep and additional family info for both parents, with slightly different attachment of a different type of consent form. Has anyone received a second letter asking them to resubmit documents already submitted from an earlier letter? Its all very strange. Thanks!

Anyone able to explain how the OVS SPR Eligibility Decision Letter differs from AOR? I received the eligibility letter over a month ago but I have not received AOR. Should we still expect AOR ?
Thanks

 

[akashindia]

I have submitted application on 20 Dec 2020 and received AOR on 7 April 2023. in AOR says:

"This letter confirms that your Application to Sponsor a Member of the Family Class was received
by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) at the Case Processing Centre in
Mississauga on behalf of the following family member(s):
<father name>

Please note that the following documentation will be required for your sponsorship
application to determine...."

I noticed that mother's name is not mentioned. Do they send another AOR with mother's name? mother was added in depends.

Can anyone please help to get this clarified? does everybody receive AOR with just one name?

I have applied for my mom and also receiving mails from IRCC to submit already submitted documents. One mail gives many option to submit the documents and another gives only one option. When I log into the web portal, I am able to view all documents but probably they are not able to and that's the reason documents are requested again. It is frustrating!
