What is Social assistance? Is it applicable to parents as well?
During Sponsorship Approval process IRCC send enquiry to province to check whether potential sponsor has taken any social assistance for the past 3 years or not. Social assistance is you apply for any social grant or sibsidised housing etc.... may be other guys can explain than me

They may have received it but it is not been added to the computer. You would have to ask what steps are taken when the paper from social services is received. Unfortunately I am not sure customer service will know the process they follow for PGP applicants and incoming information from various government departments.
My wife will call them tomorrow , lets hope they are able to alteast make a note for CPO

My parents have been here on visitor visas since Aug 2019 (completing 6 months in Feb).
I took them on one week family vacation to Punta Cana (Dominican Republic) and we returned today. The CBSA officer did not stamp their passports which I was hoping to further extend validity of their stay here.
I just wanted to share this experience and affirm that applying for visitors record is the only safe bet.

"You have 30 calendar days from the date of this letter to submit the documentation requested.

If your application meets the requirements for processing, it will then be placed in the

This is mean that my application will be on a last place (imm 5669 send on October 24), right?

Hi guys, how can I link my application to my account? I sent the application in last June, but never received any information from cic,
I’ve tried to link the application online to check status, always gotta the result as no application found.

I’ve submitted an online inquiry and got the confirmation in email said they received the application on June 24, 2019, and currently is in process of sponsor assessment. I didn’t get a case number or any further information.still don’t know how to link my application so I can check the status as you guys. Any tips?
Thanks !

Hi all,

I sent an email to Ankara Immigration department and they confirmed that you need to provide the police certificate for the countries you’ve resided more than 6 months for the past 10 years only.

Regards,
Morvarid

Police certificates

Purpose
To determine if the applicant or their family members have a criminal record or poses a security risk to Canada

Document requirements
According to the requirements below, the system will generate upload fields for the police certificates required in the document checklist using the personal history, travel history and address history provided by the applicant. However, it is always at an officer’s discretion to request a new or additional police certificate from the applicant. Applicants may also provide additional police certificates in the letter of explanation field.

  • For the applicant’s current country of residence, the police certificate must have been issued no more than 6 months before the submission of the e-APR.
  • For countries in which the applicant no longer resides, the police certificate must have been issued after the last time the applicant stayed in that country for 6 months or more in a row.
  • Police certificates meeting the above requirements can be accepted even if they have an expiry date that has passed.
  • This includes the requirement to provide a police certificate for countries in which the individual has travelled for 6 months or more in a row, whether or not the individual had an established residential address during this time.
  • Police certificates are required upfront and are mandatory for each country (except Canada) where an individual has spent 6 months or more in a row within the last 10 years. The individual does not need to provide one for any period of time before the age of 18.
  • Police certificates need to be a scan of the original police certificate(s) in colour. Certified true copies and unauthorized copies are unacceptable and will result in the application being rejected as incomplete.
Applications that do not include a required police certificate and do not provide supporting documentation where required will be rejected as incomplete.

The officer can exercise discretion when assessing whether police certificates that do not fall within standard IRCC parameters may still be required to process the application. When necessary, an officer can use discretion in their determination of whether or not a client is admissible to Canada by using other documents or mechanisms that are available to them.

Some countries will not issue police certificates to applicants, and instead will only communicate directly with the relevant Canadian authorities. In such cases, existing IRCC procedures to obtain documentation should be followed.

The IRCC website provides instructions to applicants on Where to obtain a police certificate.

In exceptional circumstances, IRCC may accept both of the following:

  • proof of having requested a police certificate for some countries; and
  • an explanation of best efforts (not a guarantee of acceptance)
    • In this explanation, the applicant should explain the delay in a document and upload the document in the country-specific field. The uploaded document must show that the applicant requested a police certificate as soon as possible after receiving their invitation to apply.
In such exceptional cases, the client will be advised to upload a document into the upload field stating country-specific details that support their explanation of best efforts.

Individuals who must submit this documentation

  • The principal applicant
  • Their spouse or common-law partner
  • Their dependent children 18 years of age or older, including non-accompanying
