My background check was in process and only today it changed to not applicable, when I researched I noticed that it may happen after medical results, that why I was looking for the person with similar situation. Is the medical of your parent(s) still valid? Was it not applicable always?
Yes the medical is still valid, on myCIC it shows: medical exam is not needed, we will let you know if this changes.

They should technically assess the income for 2020 for the new family size nut who knows.

However, since it is next year, if you are meeting the requirement for new family size for 2018 and 2019 but 2017 is a problem then no need to worry. Because in next year they will see only income for last three year.
My 2016 income is at risk of accommodating NEW family size, but I am confident my 2017-2019 income will definitely meet requirement of NEW family size. Do you think I will have a good chance of passing?

It is not the same, when they start processing the application, later they should put it as passed. Because medical is needed, but in this case it is already passed

Based on their explanation http://www.cic.gc.ca/English/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1460&top=14 yes, based on Guide and their manuals no. I am almost sure that you will not have a problem, but just for being safe I'll advise to prepare explanation letter with reference to their explanation, that your family size increased in this year, so from that year you should have income for .... people and you have that income from that year.

I think so as your family size is changing next year and they only see last three year. I had the similar situation if I had to give the salary of 2015-2018. Since we applied in Apr -June, I am okay even if they will count current family size for all year.

However, based on the forms we filled and information I was given by the call center agent, IRCC count the kid only for that year in which year kid is born. You know, there are different opinions on this. So, I always goes with the worst case scenario when they count current family size for all years.

BTW, check it out, if you guys are having more than one kids... :) ......I mean, twin or triplet or more.....I don't know, if you would want that or not...... Good luck.

Sounds good :) Good luck for further process!
where in the US are you thinking of getting bio metrics done in the US? Also, there are certain POEs in Canada that accept biometrics, can they not do it there? The website does say only certain students and workers are eligible to apply at a POE.

I had put Canadian address on application for my mother. Have not get DM or Biometrics request yet.
In meantime, I have applied for US visa for my mum to be on safe side, interview is next week. Crossed fingers.
If have to be done in US, we will go to Fargo centre, which is closest from Winnipeg.

Canada doesn't have any option for PGP biometrics yet. At the port of entries other application stream can give biometrics.

US, there are only two places (NY & Atlanta I believe) you can do it.

Please update line 57, Biometrics request recieved today. For info parents have been in Canada for over a year on a supervisa and have thier own house here, gave the Canadian address in the application but still required to give biometrics. Looks like a trip to Helena, Montana as that's the nearest place to Calgary that we are able to give them.
ECAS still showing "application recieved 2nd May" but it's obviously being processed so I would take your ECAS status with a pinch of salt.

Can you check ECAS by your parent UCI, which address is mentioned, as in my case it was mentioned back home address as residence address and I was advised to change it for not asking for biometrics. I am not sure, if this is right, but if we can see trend, then it will be useful information for applicants in Canada.
