Hi Everyone.

I just received a request for PCC for my parents. They have a PCC from India from January 2020, I am wondering if it would be still valid as it has no expiry and they have not visited India since then or should I apply for a new one? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you !

I strongly suggest getting a new one.

Congratulations. Right time to bring parents in BC.

@laxsun or everyone please advise

How much time CPC M is taking these days to call for virtual landing after we see DM2 visible on Ecas. My CIC account is not showing anything. The case is being processed at NDVO

I think NDVO has resumed processing PGP cases. You may see another step soon. DM2 will not be seen in myCIC.
If your parents are in Canada NDVO's PPR will have option to send passport to Ottawa.
In that case, call CIC call center as the passport will be returned without doing anything.

Hi all, got re-medical request for parents. I see the option of uploading documents in my online application but I understand that medicals are sent directly by the physician. Do we need to submit anything ourselves? Doctor has signed off the form but it doesn’t have any results as they mentioned all the results are sent to CIC directly. Please advise if we need to also submit the IME signed form from physician. Thank you and wishing us all to be connected and reunited soon with our loved parents and grandparents

My father got a request to resubmit his biometrics today. We got this request 2 years after we submitted our application. We have also done our 2nd medical exam in April this year... Has anyone have the similar experience? I don't understand why they waited so long to request this...

Got parents biometric email today. It says it should be done with in 30 days. But I am getting the earliest appointment on Oct 14, 2021 at the location where my parents are living. Any suggestions?

That is very odd, biometrics are valid for 10 years. There should be no need to get these done again. I am so disappointed by so much extra financial and physical burden on our parents in this old age in the name of all these revalidation tests

Hi All, I have a few questions and really appreciate your valuable input:
1. We just received a new passport for my mom as her old one is going to expire in Feb 2022. Do we need to update CIC and how?
2. She has been in Canada with a super visa since Oct 2019 and I assume she has to leave within 24 months as per the guideline of a super visa. How she can get an extension so she can avoid going back in this pandemic time (and hope that her sponsorship will be approved by then)? BTW, her original super visa was issued until Feb 2022 (as per her old passport expiry date).
Thank you in advance.

Hi, I just received PPR for my parents. Do they also need to provide their old passports in the package? Someone says they need the old passport too but the letter doesn’t request old passport. Please help.
Thank you!

How long should it normally take for COPR to be issued after pp page copies and photos have been received by the Ottawa office? The Fedex delivery confirmation shows these were received on July 6. There was an update on July 14 on CIC under Final Decision (last line): "July 14, 2021 Your application was approved. Check your messages below for details." There were no new messages, the last one was the letter that requested that we send the pp page copies and photos and a return prepaid Fedex envelope. Is this a normal delay or should I try to contact them? (We, PA and spouse, are in the USA)

@YULIA-2016 , @laxsun and @robertp Please update tracker

We got the COPR finally, today. Original application was received in Ottawa on June 12 2019, so 25 months to COPR.
Thank you for the help, support and information that forum members have been providing. If you are still waiting, hang in there, and all the best to all of you!

Hi Experts,

I am looking for a suggestion. We applied for our parents visa in 2019 and submitted application in May 2019.
After long wait with no progress we received the re-medical request this week. We have booked the appointment for the same.
Our visa office is Mississauga.

My parents are old and with almost no help in India.
We are thinking if we should apply for Visitor visa .

Question is
1)Does it make sense to apply for visitor visa now considering the medical request came this week for PR.
2) Do we know what is the processing time it takes for Visitor Visa?

Really appreciate the help here!

I still have a question: We had planned a visit to Toronto to see family, on August 10 after the USA-Canada border opens.
This time we will only stay for a short time. Do we necessarily have to land on Aug 10, or can we enter as visitors (US citizens) and in a couple of months land officially? Need to get goods to follow list done, etc. COPR is good to end of March 2022.

Check the requirement of provincial health to be qualified if you need the medical care. Some provinces like BC requires the person to be resident at least for six months.
