Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2019

[desi_munda]

Hi everyone,

I am finally seeing traction on my June 2019 application! Got the biometrics and medical assessment on the same day. Parents are in Delhi, India and will have no problem getting Medicals done, but there are no available appointments for biometrics at all - is there any suggestion? how are other people managing this?

Thank you so much!

Yes, that is an issue. They do open up a handful of spots at certain times during the day and they fill up quickly. I was able to get an appointment in 3 months by checking and refreshing often. Also, let the IRCC know via webform if you are going to miss the deadline for Biometrics. In my case, they were very understanding and granted an extension.

Please correct me if this wrong place to post but I need some help with bring my parents here from India, while I wait to get their visa stamped in India.
1. Can they come to USA first, do their PCR test at my cousin's place and then get flight from USA to Toronto
2. Can I drive to USA and bring them via road, given that we do their PCR test under 72 hrs and I don't stay more than 72 hrs in USA
(USA does not have same rule as Canada to have PCR test from last flown airport, so bring to them to USA is much easier and economical in comparison, which is the reason I am asking this questions.)
3. Mostly the validity of immigration visa will be for 8 to 10 months, if I decide to wait until summer and if they close the travel again, would CIC will issue new Visa with new valid entry date?

Thank you in advance

Apply for extension (visitor record) . that will allow you to stay in canada even if visa expires. but you cannot travel on that document. if you go back home, then need a new visa again. Also note, that you cant get super visa from inside canada (but you can get the visitor record to let you continue to stay)

Thanks for responding.

- The thing is super visa is expiring in Dec 2022;
- Last time my mother entered canada on super visa, the officer put a exit stamp on her passport 12 Jan 2022 (2 year stay)
- Now we will apply for visitor record for her to stay in canada. Do you know the link for the visitor record application online or paper?
- If she leaves canada right now she will enter canada because her super visa expires Dec 2022. But with covid rising I dont want her to travel.
- Hoping her Parent sponsorship is approved. (June 2019 LVO applicant).

Hi, I'm hoping someone can advise me. I am sponsoring my parents and my brother since 2019. I recently received an email asking for an updated background declaration form. At the beginning, my brother entered as student as he was attending university. However, he took some time off from study and the pandemic here and he hasn't been back to school and he is not working. He hasn't been to school since late 2019. I am wondering if he should be entering student or unemployed under employment? Any advice is much appreciated. THANKS

Im curently on mat leave and I’m sponsoring my dad, mom and brother from QC. I sent all the documents (financial for 2020) and an employment letter stating i will resume work in 12 months to immigration QC. But i received a letter « intention of refusal » where they said i didn’t submit all the required documents and ask to resubmit all the financial documents but for 2021. Like they are asking for the 2021 T4, notice of assessment and all the documents in the checklist. How am i suppose to provide a 2021 T4 we still on November? Also, will they consider my revenue during the Maternity leave or just the normal income?
Has anyone experience something similar?
I have already called them but the agent said i have to wait a week to get an answer
Thanks for the help, I’m freaking out

Both are ok as long as your brother has a valid status like a valid working or study permit or a VR or an under review application

Hi, are there any applicants from Quebec?

Does anyone know if we need to mail CSQ to our parents, would they need to present this to the immigration officer upon arrival?

Many thanks!

You have to submit last 3 years of your income statements, excluding 2021.

Hi, how long does it take currently to get ecopr after updating address and photo on IRCC PR confirmation portal ? We updated address and photo on November 17 and still waiting for address approval .

I wasn't aware of this. From what I read for CSQ, they only ask for last one year of tax returns and that's what I sent.

I'm in a similar situation as you (I didn't work part of the year). I applied for CSQ on Nov 1 and haven't heard anything back yet. 2021 income doesn't make any sense. Perhaps they need previous years? I don't think they should consider your mat leave income. The letter from your employer should state your regular income and income earned until now this year. That should suffice. Keep us updated when you hear back from them.

My understanding is that MIDI mails CSQ to the sponsor and sends a copy to IRCC. IRCC also requested PA (my dad) to email them CSQ copy. I don't think it's needed for landing.

Hello,

We received a letter to submit biometrics last week, my father is currently in Canada

As per Subsection 11(1) of the Immigration and Refugees Protection Act (“the Act”), in order for you to receive permanent residence an officer must be satisfied that both you and your applicable family members are not inadmissible and meet the requirements of the Act. Furthermore, Subsection 16(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act states that: “A person who makes an application must answer truthfully all questions put to them for the purpose of the examination and must produce a visa and all relevant evidence and documents that the officer reasonably requires.” In order to assess your eligibility and admissibilities, an officer has deemed the following as required: > Fingerprints: You are now required to submit Biometrics as you previously departed Canada since the submission of this application. Please follow the Biometrics instruction letter previously sent to you. You have 30 days from the date of the instruction letter to complete the requirement. This must be received at this office by: *******

We have submitted the biometrics from service Canada yesterday.

Now do I need to send the proof of bio-metrics/biometric ID etc to IRCC or it gets uploaded automatically?

Thanks
