    I know a few 2024 PGP applicants have received CoPR. Maybe some even landed in Ontario. If there is someone in here, I needed to know how soon Service Ontario issues IDs and health cards. As per Service ontario there is no wait period to apply. last year and previous years I always...

    well, I emailed VFS global and we got a call back to submit dependant PP with the same letter. both principal and dependant PP have reached IRCC office now and I will wait for their response. It seems the VFS agent at the time meant to tell us that we need a separate appointment and payment for...

    I heard all PGP applications will get revoked ?!!

    Jan to Apr 2025 alone Ontario had 2,828,548 tourist and just like super-visa holders they come in with their private med insurance but potentially hit our Health care system if needed. Poor health care system cannot be a reason to restrict people coming in....I understand PGP is a drain but is a...

    There was one message in my portal, which was the passport submission letter addressed to the principal applicant and clearly states that we need to submit ( photos and passport) for accompany family members too. My current challenge is getting VFS Mumbai to understand this. They refused to...

    I think because i have portal access, I only receive an email stating that there is a message for me. that is when I check the portal to see one or more messages. I think this is how it supposed to work. My portal says final decision but no hint of that in the email. I know another person in...

    rest are dependants, but how is VFS supposed to know how many are dependants and what is their name. We know in PGP there is only one dependant but If IRCC is only giving one letter with principal applicant name and without any detail of dependants, then there is a confusion

    I thought the same but VFS India spoke to me and said they cannot accept passport of dependants because there is no details of any dependants on the letter that is only addressed to the principal applicant.. Just like biometric letter which is separate for principal and dependant, they are...

    you mentioned passports, so needed to ask if you received two passport request letters or just one combined for both principle and dependant? I know some receive them via email and those will online access, receive an email to download from portal. Please let me know

    I have this unique problem and not sure if anyone else faced this. I got an email from IRCC to refer to portal and I see passport request for principal applicant only ( my dad) but no such letter for my mom. So I used VFS service in India to send my dad's passport and they confirmed that a...

    Today, I see the below update in portal which looks like "final decision" stage but it also says application in progress, so maybe I need to wait for an email in coming days. not sure if anyone monitored closely to know what to understand what to expect. Update: - Final decision - July 8...
