Guys please help !!

My parents' passports are expiring in 10 months, and we received the bio-metric letter for which we have booked the appointment, now my question is can we go for the appointment with the passports which are expiring soon and then renew the passports or do we have to renew the passports before the bio-metric appointment?

Please guide.
You can renew the passports after biometric. Please don't delay for biometric.

Ours is the same story. Application received on June 24, 2019 and no movement. They sent me a letter in October 2019 requesting for a form to be signed in ink instead of electronic signature, and another letter in September 2020 advising to have my financials updated if no consent was given to my CRA records in the application. With all of this, the status of the application remains "Application received".

I've asked a local MP to assist with any update. Her office came back with the following response:
"It is progressing as expected. I should note that under normal processing times the timeline for this type of application is 20-24 months, and this is further delayed by the pandemic. Your application is complete and there are no missing documents that they can see".

It's very frustrating with IRCC and overall process.
@Komarick - Thanks for sharing your situation. It is indeed very frustrating being stuck. We are already reaching the 20 month mark with literally no progress, very disappointing. Hopefully, the stuck files get picked up soon.

What error msg you are getting?
Most common error is on number of people on application. You have to include sponsor+co-sponsor+Principal applicant+Dependent(s).
Hope this works.
@dm31810 - It just says it is unable to find any matching applications. I have entered 3 in the total number of people on the application ( myself, mum and dad)

Hello! Hope someone can help me. I understand that this PGP 2019 but Im just wondering if someone has the same situation with me or can help me. Im starting to gather my application for PGP 2020. Im kind of confuse in filling out IMM5768 question #14 with my decreased family size. Im not sure if Im doing it right.

Here is my situation;
Im supposed to be sponsoring my father mother and 1 dependent sister, but father passed away last February 2020.

Am I doing it right?
Family size for;
2020- 4 (year father passed away, so Im just counting me, my spouse, mother, 1 dependent)
2019- 5 ( dad still alive so im counting me, my spouse, father, mother, and 1 dependent)
2018- 5 ( dad still alive so im counting me, my spouse, father, mother, and 1 dependent.)

Thank you !!!

Actually, you just need to count the current number of members for all 3 years.

So you will be counting 4 for 2018, 2019, and 2020 (you, your spouse, mother, 1 dependent)

Finally after months and years of waiting we have received passport request. I am on the tracker, but not sure of the line, under "joyus"

Application submitted - Apr 30 2019
Medical passed - Dec 2, 2019 (got extension on Jan 4th 2021 to Jan 4 2022)
Medical pass Extension update on myCIC - Jan 4, 2021
PA Decision made - Jan 5, 2021
PPR request - Jan 5, 2021

Mother is in India and will be submitting PP to Delhi through VFS.

Hopefully things will move bit more smoothly from here. My mother is 79, widowed and living on her own especially during the pandemic so I can't express how I feel right now. It has been a roller coaster ride for us the past 2 years. Wishing everyone good luck to all waiting for their time to come! There will be light at the end of the tunnel!!!

Joyus
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally

Hi everyone.

I submitted my parents sponsorship application in June 2019. The CAS shows "In Process" but only says Application received on June xx, 2019. Over the last two years CIC has only communicated with me once to request a document which I submitted (and it shows on the mycicaccount i.e. that they have received the documents I submitted).

I am touching 20 month mark and no further progress. We haven't received medical or anything else yet but my parents biometrics are valid for another few years (they have visited Canada few times in the past).

Is anyone else in the same boat? Any suggestions/guidance? I hope there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Thanks.

Hi,

Question here regarding medical exam.

We got the request the end of October. Done it on November 2, however, we didn't submit the information sheet from the clinic to IRCC as my agent told it will be send online automatically and it is unnecessary to submit the paper information sheet to them. We did get requested additional documents at the same time as well, but we didn't send it along with that. Now 2 months has gone, the status is still showing (not receive) in medical report.

I asked my agent again to send webform to submit that, but they said the health administration will take some time to review the report and send the result back to officer.

Does anyone know something about that?

Thanks,

Medical report is uploaded by the doctor’s office where the test was done. I would suggest you contact the doctor and verify it was done and if so when.

Thanks,
Panel physicians are working with electronic medical system E-Medical and the results are getting submitted only through e-medical, then medical officer reviews and if no concerns you get pass status, if additional tests required you supposed to get email stating to connect to your panel physician for more information.
