Parents & Grandparents Program (PGP) 2023

It looks like IRCC has updated the way it shows average processing times for certain applications including PGPP. Take a look here https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...vices/application/check-processing-times.html

Thanks for sharing! It shows 8 months left when I enter Oct 2023, which takes it to June 2026

I was hoping it would be Dec/Jan 2026 if I count 26 months.

I know, its crazy. I know I received the invitation in Oct 2023 but by the time I submitted the application, it was either Nov or Dec 2023. Unfortunately, still long ways to go :/

Fingers and toes crossed for you and I!

Hi guys, I am facing a situation I am wondering if you guys can help. My mom landed in September, I got called IRCC yesterday to ask about the status of her card. I was told that the photo was rejected and an email was sent. We never got any email, I asked for the email to be resent. I was told that another email will come but she said there is no timeline. Now I got her to take new photo but I haven't received any email.. did anyone face the same situation? Can I submit the photo from webform? Or does it need to be mailed to them? I want to be proactive and the photo now

Did they resubmit the medicals?
I was checking and my parents medicals have expired when it hit 1 year mark.

Would you recommend that I resubmit or wait for them to ask?

No, we have not resubmitted the medicals. I am going to wait to be asked. You could do it proactively and hope that they process the application before they expire again.

Same, did not resubmit medicals.

I have a question about the PGP 2023. I applied for my parents in Dec 2023 ( was in the 2020 pool)
When my dad tries to use the

Client Application Status tool to check application online.​

I have the UCI number but IT SAYS : We were not able to identify you using the information you provided
is it because they have not started processing it yet?

Medical was done already a long time back.

I have never been able to use that tool - it never works for me. I use GCKey account instead.

Hey everyone my parents' sponsorship started in 2023. I believe it was in December but I will confirm with them later. My sister is the sponsor.

There's still no update.

Has anyone's parents gotten their visa yet from 2023?

Edit: I checked the link that was shared recently in this thread and checked the estimated timeline. It says 9 months left!

Does anyone know if medicals done for an IRCC application automatically get updated for all IRCC applications in progress? e.g. medical done for supervisa application, would that automatically update medical information for the PGPP application?

Thank you for your response.

I am worried since we have a dependent on file who will be turning 22 next month. Do you know when does age lock come into effect? The details on the IRCC website just say when we submit complete application. But they have asked for additional documents since then like proof of relationship

Hi there, how was your application now? Did you also apply under the Pgp? I have similar situation as my sister will turn to 22 next month, I got additional documents requested, but no AOR yet, not sure whether her age will be locked or i have to wait for AOR. Can you please share your experience please? Thanks

Lock in date is when IRCC has "complete" application.
