Does anyone know if Pearson airport offers translators for parents landing 1st time and cannot speak English?

Professional services for translation may not be available but depending upon the country of origin there is a chance of getting some help.
However CBSA officers may stop other persons helping your parents. Better to accompany them with someone who can speak English.

Thank you. My parents are also planning to travel to Canada in Feb beginning, so do you know if they ask for passport submission - can it be done here?

@calgary17 It's so frustrating, we have got PPR, Did the first web form on the 3rd Drcember and 2nd webform on the 15th letting NDVO know that Parents in Canada, but haven't heard anything back yet. Does anyone in the same boat, is there any other way to let them know?

NDVO might have already sent this information to Canadian office, but due to holidays, Canadian offices would be busy.
Wait until Jan 6-7, if you don’t get anything then send another webform ro NDVO.

Hi Folks,
Principal Applicant status changed from In Process to "Application Received". Just checked ECAS today after Dec 9th. Anyone have any idea what is that means or anyone have experience with this?
File was transferred to NDVO on Dec 9th, no updates yet.

Thank you

It means NDVO has just received your file and it will be processed... Then it will be back to « In Process» when NDVO starts processing it.

Hi everyone,
I applied for parents sponsorship on December 1st 2021 after this there is no update. When can I expect an update and at what stage can you expect biometric?

Thank you

Hi everyone.
Hope you all had a nice Christmas. We were asked for Medicals but my mom had it done in Feb 2021, passed March 1st 2021. What should I send as proof that it was done?

Thanks

Looks like they want her to redo the medical, that's weird it's not even expired yet

One of my friend who is not in tracker got the passport request nov 13 and got decision made on oct 29. They got prearrival one month before (sep 29) decision made
London office.

I know many who got prearrival in nov but no decision made until now.

Oh reallly! Are these applicants from Pakistan, and would you know their dates of application received. I think they may be applicants from the month of May. Let's hope to hear from London soon !

Hello, can anyone let me know here please what is the procedure for my mother who is already here in Canada and my dad is in outside Canada where his passport is now stamped and he has received the COPR.

In the email it said "if the applicant is already in Canada then they will be landed virtually and do not need to send their passport. The documents will be mailed to them once the information is submitted via the web form (we already provided this update to CIC)"

Does this mean my mother (who is the dependent under the family class sponsorship as my father is the principal applicant) will get her COPR mailed to our address in Canada? or does she need to wait till my dad completes his landing?

Hello, We received Pre-arrival services email on December 23rd. I was wondering what's the next step and how long will it take to hear back from them. My parents are currently here in Canada on a visitors visa. Medical, PCC and biometrics done. Thank you
