This was my first time doing a sponsor application, so the signature was the problem. Anyhow we finally got to AOR stage after a few returns.

B) IF YOU ARE CURRENTLY IN CANADA:
You are not required to submit your passport and will be landed virtually. Please advise
our office via webform within 5 days of receipt of this letter if you and/or any of your dependents
are in Canada. Please include each person’s name/UCI and where they are currently
staying/residing (in Canada or overseas).
NOTE: Permanent Resident document(s) Validity

The issuance of your Permanent Resident document(s) is time sensitive so it is
important for you to submit your passport(s) as requested.

Once you receive your Permanent Resident document(s), please verify the
information on it is correct. If there are any errors, such as incorrect spelling of name
or incorrect date of birth, please inform our New Delhi office via the IRCC Web Form:

Your Permanent Resident document(s) will expire one year after the date of your
medical examinations or earlier if your passport or the passports of your spouse or
dependent children (if applicable) expire on an earlier date.

You must travel to Canada and present your immigration documents at a Canadian
Port of Entry before they expire. The validity of the Permanent Resident documents
cannot be extended. If you fail to enter Canada before this date and still wish to
immigrate to Canada, you must reapply by submitting a new application and paying
new processing fees. All such applications will be assessed according to the
immigration laws in force at the time of receipt of the application. There is no
guarantee a future application would be successful.

The forums has gone quite for sometime now. So writing here, just to vent out.

It has become quite frustrating that even after 6 weeks of sponsorship eligibility, I have not received the Medical request. It has been 3 months already, don't think my application will be processed within the 5 months' timeline.

Your situation is understandable.
Did you try raising a web form?

Yes. I raised. Got a standard template reply- that if the application is within processing time, then IRCC wont respond.

I see... yeah, had got the same too, but still worth a try since that may be the only option available at this stage.
If it does go beyond the stated processing time, you could try reaching your MP and see if that helps to move it along.
All the best.

Yes. At this point - don't think there's anything I can do except wait patiently. Hopefully will receive some update in next 2 weeks. Thank you.

Hi,

Did you apply it by yourself? Could you please share steps or any helpful links to apply for child sponsorship?

My daughter is born in India, and we are planning to travel to Canada soon.
Also, Is it possible to apply for visitor visa as well when the application is in progress? So that in case if PR takes time then they can travel using visitor visa.

Thanks!

Hi, please share details of documents that you attached with file to support financially column. I am also going to apply in a month. Also please share timeline
