Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2019

[Krubzee]

For me was mailed on july but I never received it and I just asked them to resend it. Hope this time I will receive.
This is your right to have it if you want you can request by phone to re send it to you. Up to you as your case finalized.
Question: did they ever ask for resume, travel history?
Thanks

Thanks for the information, I'll call and check.

Yes, they asked for resume and travel history as part of the additional documents request.

My parents got re-medical request on Aug 2. Hospital said that the exam result was submitted on Aug 25, 2021 and they did not provide the result to applicants. So far, no updates at ECAS yet.

The IRCC request letter said:

Does any one know if the 2nd medical result submitted by the panel physician clinic should be OK? (Because the first medical result was updated by this way.)


Thanks

My mom did her second medical in July 2021 and ecas is still not updated. Plus the physician directly send to the immigration, I never had to submit either by myself.. so I think it should be good. Am stuck waiting for next step.

Hello Everyone,
Is there anyone whose parents are travelling in nonstop flight ✈ from india . If yes, did you book RT PCR Test or Rapid PCR? Is there any difference between these two except processing time? I booked Rapid PCR for my parents. Will it be valid for canada?

Hey I am planning to call my mom and based on the requirements there's a list of molecular tests that can be done but not antigen one. So rapid pcr should be good . Where did you book yours since it says a specific lab at Delhi Airport?

Hello I am looking for advice for my moms arrival. We are June 2019 file and did pcc and biometrics etc in Dec 2019 n then nothing until July 2021 when they asked for re medical due to expiry. Nothing is updated on ecas till now and I can't link my file in my cic , I have tried every combination possible. So with flight ban being lifted, am I ok to call my mom despite not getting her pr yet but she has multiple entry Visa? Also once she's here do I have to call n update ircc for her being heas I do all communication on my moms behalf and I get all their emails. Her visa office is mississauga so am guessing it would be easier to do her passport submission here when the time comes. Will really appreciate any advice .thanks

Hello! Can anyone provide their experience for the arrival process in Toronto Pearson?
My grandparents are due to arrive soon, but they do not speak much English. I am worried that they will face difficulties due to the language barrier.
Are they required to go to the immigration counter after the customs? If so, where is the immigration counter located in Terminal 1?
Any help is much appreciated!

Finally. we received PPR for my parents today.

Parents are in Chandigarh. We would be using VFS and its courier service for passport stamping.

Quick question - VFS webform says to submit separate webforms for each passport. Should we do that or only one webform (for courier pick up and drop for my parents? Please advise

@robertp - please update tracker

when did you notice the status changing to “Decision Made” in ECAS

 

[Mississauga-Applicant]

Hi Guys,

May 8th applicant.Finally got request for passports!
However, they had gone back home and now we probably have to submit passports to VFS in Ktm.
Just a quick question. I have already sent an email to New Delhi office advising them that their mailing address had changed since they went back home couple of months back. What is the process like now? Just submit passport in ktm via VFS and VFS will return passports to them? Or is it a courier pick up service for passports? Any insight is appreciated. Thank you

Congratulations. Can I ask when did you notice the status on ECAS changing to “Decision Made”?

I just received an email with a form for refunding my Bio fee

is that normal, guy?
because we are definitely at the middle of the process (No medical request yet) and I think only when the application finalize, the fee will then refund? why they send this form so soon?

Anyones experience this? please share your though

Thanks in advance

How did you plan the logistics of the test and the flight departure time? I believe the requirement is that the test has to be done within 18 hours of departure. Is the lab right inside Delhi airport's terminal 3? I am planning to bring my mom who will be travelling alone and trying to figure out the logistics of this process.

The lab is located at the bridge connecting metro & T3. I booked rapid pcr 13-14 hours before the departure time. But they advise you to book it 6-7 hours before departure. The result is available within an hour. They(lab staff) said rapid pcr & rt pcr both are valid for canada. You can chat with them on whatsapp. No. is +91 93111 22506. They reply within 1 min or you can send them email & ask questions. RT PCR results are available in 6-8 hours. Fees for rt pcr is 500INR & for rapid pcr, it’s 3900INR

Thank you so much for this information. It is very helpful.

My mom is a widow, living alone in Delhi. She lives in West Delhi, about an hour's drive from IGI airport.

I am trying to see what's easy & convenient for her
- option (a) To book a hotel for her close to the airport
or
- option (b) To book a two way taxi for her to travel from home to the testing centre location a day before the departure.

What type of travel arrangements did you make in your parent's case? Are they local in Delhi or from outside Delhi? What type of test did you book - Rapid or RT?
