Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2019

[Verooney]

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

@rj04 says that they need it!

no they didn't. They didn't even get tested upon arrival or asked to quarantine. I think the additional test at transit airports is only for travelers from those 10 something high risk countries.

@Roya-FSW As far as I know, a PCR test needs to be done in a third country, in your case that is Vienna.

Testing requirements before returning to Canada
You must obtain a negative COVID-19 molecular test result in a third country, within 72 hours before the scheduled departure time of your flight to Canada or arrival at a land border. A temporary exemption from third country testing is in effect for eligible passengers leaving from or transiting through South Africa.

For example: If you are flying from Malawi to Canada, you must stop in a third country, such as Germany, and then get a negative COVID-19 molecular test in Germany before flying on to Canada.

Please update line 564 - received a request for biometrics from London LVO on Dec 17th.
If only it was easy with the London office... They sent us a request to do biometrics within 30 days with the letter date as of November 12, thus the deadline is December 13 but the request came to us on Dec 17th... *face palm

So you got biometrics AFTER medicals and pre-arrival letter?

Hi I’m still waiting for ppr (all docs, medical, biometrics have been done and send) and today I got an update “biometric completed” on mycic.
Does it mean something? (PPR soon?)
Thanks

I surely did. And also they sent the biometrics request AFTER the deadline for the biometrics

Many Congratulations.

Which Visa Office was processing your application? did you submit any additional documents?

Thanks @rockwidme . It is in CPC Missisuaga. Yes, they had asked me for a Government service form for my mum and my parents Voter cards ( as a proof of their relationship since we did not have a marriage certificate)

And when did you receive the pre arrival letter?

 

[deepi06]

Hi All, I got passport request for my parents today. I am trying to figure out a way to send their passports via a courier. Can anybody tell me if I can pay for that online on VFS? So it is picked up and dropped off from our home?

Hi there, at least there is one case delayed like mine, application submitted on June 04 2019, sponsored parents, presently in Pakistan, medical passed in Jan 2020, biometric sent in December 2019. All other documents sent incl pcc, resume, pp copy, demanded with SA letter. All documents
Sent till March 2020 in installments. After that silence, requested atip notes on 16 August 2021, on 18 August file transfered to London from CPC-M. Atip notes not received yet.. Four months passed. They are not asking any thing not providing any update. Just covid and Refugees, I don't mind but when I see even 27 June case receiving pp requests and 2020 case getting copr I wonder what's missing in the file. Next step should be remedical and pcc as they are expired.. Now the last resort is MP inquiry.
All old friends have left this room one by one. It's very gloomy and deserted.

London is very slow again. I'm June 12th applicant, medical completed in May 2021. Additional documents submitted, but were asked for again, and submitted again. Nothing after that. Your medical was done long time back. I don't know if MP office could be of any help!

And when did you receive the pre arrival letter?

November 13, 2021

Finally received passports for my parents back after stamping PR visa along with COPR letters for both.but they marked medical surveillance for my father due to History of Tuberculosis.
Any1 have any idea how does surveillance thing goes n will be this Medical surveillance paid or free...? his medical for PR was passed only after he underwent most accurate/invasive (FNAC ) test to rule out active Tuberculosis.
Still y they want surveillance...???

He could have inactive TB which still requires surveillance. All treatment will be free. It’s usually a nine month course of medication.
