I have requested status of my application through local MP office.

Thank you for contacting the Information Centre for Members of Parliament and Senators.

We can provide you with the following details about the status of the applicant’s submission for permanent residence under the Provincial Nominee Program under EXXXXX.

* The application was received at the Centralized Intake Office in Sydney (CIO), Nova Scotia on December 5, 2019.
* The CIO is has concluded reviewing the application and documents submitted to determine if the applicant and their family members meet the eligibility requirements<http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-who-express.asp> under the class for which they have applied.
* the eligibility requirements assessment was finalized on June 1, 2020.
* The medical examination results have expired for the three (3) applicants. The office is requesting an internal extension to the medical results validity.
* The criminality verifications are currently valid for the adult applicants.
* The security verifications are currently valid for the adult applicants.

We wish to mention that at this point, permanent resident applicants must have all family members available in Canada at the same time, to complete the permanent residence confirmation.

Based on the above information , first we have to apply visitor visa for family. Looks like we have to wait for a long time to bring the family to Canada.
Thank you !!. In this case, even if we are applying Visitor Visa for them, how our dependents passports will be stamped in our country? VFS are closed in India right now. If VFS is open and our dependents can stamp their passport in LVO means, IRCC can approve our PR and send PPR letter to our dependents. Here, we don't need Visitor Visa for them. Confused :confused:

Sorry what is local MP office?
I am residing in Toronto and for every region there will be a Member of Parliament(MP) to resolve any issues related to Immigration and other issues. As a temporary resident, we can contact MP office about our status of PR application and after that they will contact IRCC and get reply direct from IRCC officer.

To be frank, we don't need to apply visitor visa for dependents and also we can save $100 for applicant. As per my guess, they will pause to issue PPR for PR applicants and they may allow to issue TRV.

Hello,

I live in Toronto too.
Could you please share email id of MP office.
Should we contact Toronto MP office or the MP office where our application is currently processing.
And how much time does it take for MP office to respond?

Thank you.

Guys, I called IRCC this morning and the agent said to me it seems that IRCC didn't know my kid is not here in Canada (actuall he is). The agent advised me to do the webform to inform IRCC
I am surprised with this news.
(my kid has a visa, but he never entered the country- based on the passport)

How come IRCC make that assumption? How do they know that your dependent is outside or inside?

How do you inform IRCC in your application with that info (outland dependent)?
Thanks

we (me and kids) got a refusal on TRV as per recent oct 8 exemptions. Applied after that announcement of IRCC to reunite with my husband but got a refusal stating that officer not satisfied with the PURPOSE of visit. They refused me on the same ground as new Oct 8 announcement allowed. To reunite with my husband is not right purpose of visit. But why were those exemptions for? why was this IRCC declaration about family reunification if they are not intended to let families reunite.

They are not only looking into the purpose in your statement but also verify it through your overall background.

And another (very rare) occasion is, you met the same officer twice...
