Today's news is good for travellers from India to Canada.Covid testing rules being relaxed in coming week.Travellers from India are allowed to get negative report from any MCI approved labs & same reports will be valid for connecting from flight also.

means the traveler will not have to get RT PCR from transit country? IF thats the case then one can travel via any country will limited layover time. BTW whats the source of your info?

Does Copr or landing paper show sponsors name?

COPR yes

That is what we have got today from our local MP "Our office inquired with IRCC regarding the status of your spouse’s application to sponsor her grandparents. IRCC again verified that the application was approved on July 9, 2021. IRCC noted that your spouse’s grandparents are in queue for a virtual landing ceremony. IRCC confirmed that the visa office in London continues to handle the file, and unfortunately, no expected processing times are available regarding the scheduling of the virtual landing ceremony".
I know that in order to apply for OHIP they just need the information that GP application for PR was approved and this should be the letter from IRCC with our GP names on it. In PPR letter there are no such words like "Your application was approved" on it. How can we get a letter from IRCC about current status of their application? I ordered GCMS notes 3 weeks ago, but I think same long waiting time with this like everything else.

Thank you for your reply!
Please let me know if you have any movement on your file.
Hopefully, after such a long waiting it's going to be resolved soon!!!
PS, I also wonder re: medical, is it going to be considered "expired " after 12 months even if decision 2 was already made?

Thanks @HKIMM It is helpful
Do I need to provide my PR Card to my parents in case if anyone can ask at airport?

No.. not required..
Only thing they should know your address and the same is mentioned in COPR..

They can't travel before 14 days

This is the latest press release on Jan 28

https://www.canada.ca/en/transport-...des-update-about-canadas-border-measures.html

In this they have mentioned:

Quick facts

• The Government of Canada continues to require that all travellers, unless specifically exempted, have a valid negative pre-departure COVID-19 molecular test result taken no more than 72 hours before a scheduled flight to Canada or arrival at the land border, or a previous positive molecular test result taken between 10 and 180 days before departure to Canada.

Very tough to know when your father may test negative. It can be quite a while. Unfortunately there is no other option but to delay travel. You can attempt to book a new flight but make sure you can still change the flight if he is still testing negative. If the COPR is expiring soon he should be able to get an extension. Unfortunately there is a chance he could have to do another medical because if COPR is expiring because some have severe longterm side effects from Covid. Unfortunate timing. I hope your mother is trying to remain isolated from him and wearing a mask in the house although she has likely already been infected.

Thanks for your concern @canuck78
COPR is expiring in another 24 days. Both are taking precautions.

As per the information available on GoC portal, it is not mandatory to have a negative result as long as samples of +ve test were taken more than 10 days ago. Same information has been published in ArriveCAN app as well.

Below text is as is from ArriveCAN app.
________________________________

• Individuals 5 years of age or older are required to provide proof of one of the following, even if they are fully vaccinated, prior to boarding a flight to Canada (with limited exceptions):
• Negative molecular (e.g. PC, NAATs, RT-LAMP) COVID-19 test result on a sample taken no more than 72 hours prior to departure, or
• Positive molecular (e.g. PC, NAATs, RT-LAMP) COVID-19 test result on a sample taken between 10 and 180 days prior to departure.
• All test results must be molecular (e.g. PC, NAATs, RT -LAMP) tests. Antigen tests are not accepted.
• If you do not have proof, you may be subject to a fine or denied boarding/entry to Canada. Certain exceptions apply.
• All travellers must have a suitable quarantine plan for 14 days starting on the day they enter Canada.

You must keep the proof of your COVID-19 test result for 14 days after entering Canada.
I acknowledge that I, or the travellers listed in this submission, will not be allowed to board the flight to Canada if I/we cannot
show proof of a valid COVID-19 test.

And this is the latest News Release from Government of Canada (on Jan 28). This also says tested +ve more than 10 days ago is eligible to travel.

@YULIA-2016 @robertp @laxsun @serious_cheese

Hi: please update my tracker:

October 22, 2020: marriage certificate is requested (puzzled why they didn't request it with the application!)
November 2nd, 2020: marriage certificate sent
August 18, 2021: file is transferred from Mississauga to London office (I guess this means additional delays )
August 27, 2021: ecas updated with a message that they started processing my application (what??)

No further information is received since then. Contacted my MP and requested ATIP last week. I hope things will move forward. At least, i am waiting for them to ask for the 2nd medical because the first one expired Dec. 2020!.

Would also look up airline requirement when it comes to covid tests. Hopefully he is vaccinated and boosted. He could be symptomatic which would still lead to denial even if it has been 10 days.

Looking for an advice:
My parents are in the middle east now and my case was transferred to London visa office.

- Does getting my parents to Canada on visitor visa speed up the process? Or conplicate it? Or it has just a minor or no impact?
- Do you recommend normal visitor visa or super visa? (If it is the wrong thread, please point me to the right one)

Thanks!!
