You are right....parents are getting older with each passing day. I have already lost my father in the process so I hope at least my widowed mother will be able to come here. Unfortunately, there is no compassion or empathy in this process.
First of all I am sorry for your loss. The health of the Canadian workers abroad or in Canada needs to be prioritized first when it comes to processing applications. PGP is compassionate program to begin with. Most PGP applicants never work or pay taxes. There are many factors that were beyond Canada's control that have lead to delays like lockdown in other countries. Flights may not be departing from cities or countries. Many people have been affected by covid for various reasons. Everyone needs to be patient. Lots of Candians are waiting for things like cancer surgery, organ transplants, heart surgery, etc. Some have died waiting after having their surgery postponed due to covid. Everyone is having to be patient for various reasons. On a positive note your parent is lucky and has received a PGP spot and will become a PR. Many have not been as lucky.
I think we should send a webform. I havent done it yet but i am going to send webform today. I suggest you do the same.
Canada has started processing visit visa applications starting july 1. so i hope VAC should open up soon .. I really pray they do

As of July 1, 2020, we will resume processing all online applications for visitor visas, transit visas and electronic travel authorizations (eTAs). Please be advised that due to current travel restrictions, most people will not be able to travel to Canada at this time. (1/2)
Does it mean we will hear from London and Mexico city LVOs? I hope so

Hello, the status of my application got updated to application received on June 24th, 2019. This status was updated in January, 2020. Since then, no update.
Background: Parent in Canada, CPC-Mississauga, paper application sent for visitor record (extension of visit visa), had issues with online application.
Had a telephonic interview with an agent who called and wished to speak with both the sponsor and the parent. After confirming identities, the agent confirmed last date of entry to Canada, which they had incorrect, so rectified it. Since the paper application for visa extension has not started processing yet and won't for a couple of months yet, she advised us to apply again online to restore status and extend visa as they can't issue PR if you are out of status and they can see an online application and resulting implied status and act accordingly. Told her would do that today.
Just finished submitting the online application to restore status and extend visa. Keeping fingers crossed for now.

All....Need a bit of guidance.
Background: Parents received their COPR in Nov-2019 and was scheduled for a flight on March 2020. Then COVID hit. This morning their flight for July 5th got canceled for 7th time. Next flight is not till Aug 19th, 2020.
Issue: Their counterfoil PGP Visa expires on Aug 29th, 2020 and i am going to have an addition in my family by the end of this month. Does this mean i have to inform IRCC and open their file again? Anyone else faced a similar scenario?
Thank you.

Agree, my mother has been doing different medical tests for past 6 months, she is 81 yo, mild hypertension, my impression they are trying to fit her to astronauts ...we ve done blood tests, chest X-ray x2, sputum... yesterday email arrived asking to contact panel physician for additional test required... I am so tired with all of that...
@YULIA-2016 @robertp @laxsun please update my record. My parents received pre-arrival services letter today. Also, I checked ECAS. Status changed to Decision Made for PR Application Status part. Most likely it changed today as well, but I am not sure about that. I was checking once a week or so at this point.
That was super news for me on Canada day.
Thank you!
