Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2019

[sharadsinha]

My parents are flying to Canada next week.
Since your parents just landed, I wonder if there are any specific documents that they need to have with them in addition to the ARRIVECAN app on their phones? COPR is issued when they land in Canada right?

Thanks!

Hope they are taking a direct flight. Else RTPCR will be required from the transit country.

Thanks! There is no direct flight from Iran to Canada they have a stop in Vienna.
Yeah, they will do the PCR test within 72hr of their flight for sure!

I just talked to my parents, apparently they have also received landing documents (COPR I guess) from VO with their stamped passport but they forgot to tell me lol!
Cheers!

Is it normal to receive pre arrival letter while they are still reviewing the medical

it may differ case by case, as I received by prearrival letter in April 2020 and medical, BIO and PPR in between Oct and Dec 2021. good news is they are processing the file atleaset.

888-242-2100
Review following options but this is what I recall:
Press 1 then enter UCI applicant number ten digits not file number
Then 1
Press 1 again
Press 2
Chose 3
Then would enter application number six digits then confirm it by 1
Then enter year of birth of principle applicant
Then press 1, you will hear the application status then it will say to speak to an agent press zero.
Wish everyone get good news soon.

Hi @Roya-FSW, just an FYI, your parents will have to get the PCR test done in Vienna as well.

Thanks!

Congrats! My parents landing was real smooth hope the same for yours. They only need ArriveCan barcode for all travelers (make sure they upload proof of vaccine and they show as vaccinated on the app), they also need to declare the list of goods they bring and goods to follow (2 copies of each) .

Hope this helps!

Hi everyone
Seeking some advice, hopefully someone can help. They ask for copies of additional documents ( PCC, divorce certificate). Do this copies need to be certified by a notary? They didn’t mention it on the letter. Anyone that went through this already?

Thanks

Did your parents did another PCR test at the transit airport (in may case it's Vienna)?

@rj04 says that they need it!

Hi
Are you sure about that?!
They are staying in transit at Vienna airport for only 3 hours!

My parents 2019 PGP application is in process and medical has been completed. They arrived in canada on visitor visa last month. In case, their PR gets finalized while they are still in Canada, and they have stayed in canada on visitor visa for more than 3 months, then will OHIP 3 month waiting period be satisfied due to their stay? Or they will have to wait an additional 3 months before they can qualify for OHIP ..?

I realized that some forum members ask questions that they already know the answers.
1- Your parents come as visitors.... A visitor is NOT eligible for OHIP.
2- They will be eligible when they become officially PR and their 3 months waiting period will START at day 1 after they sign for OHIP after PR status granted. In this case no OHIP without PR status. As long as your parents status remain visitor, they are not eligible and 3 months period couldn't apply.

Thanks.

Does anyone know if copies need to be certified ?
