Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2019

[bdidol]

Hey guys.. I got a Biometrics request letter for my parents, even though my parents were in Canada at the time of application (currently also in Canada), and I mentioned Canadian address for them on the application. The biometrics letter also have Canadian address on it. They should have been exempt from biometrics.

Guide 5772 says:

"If you are applying as a member of the family class and are legally in Canada when you apply, you are currently exempt from giving biometrics."
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/application-forms-guides/guide-5772-application-sponsor-parents-grandparents.html

Do you guys think it's a mistake that the IRCC officer requested biometrics (officer might not have noticed Canadian address), or it would have been intentional?

Do you think if I call IRCC or submit web-form, they can cancel the biometrics request, or now that I have got this request, it has to be done?

The way CO interprets this is still very vague. What is their visa status? Visitor? Super visa? You can ask via webform to waive it, but should have a back up plan.

Hi All,
I have sent my parents PR application on June 12 and it was received on same date and I am yet to get any kind of acknowledgement. The only number I have is a bar code number (e g
858BE56-19) on the invite. How do I track application status on ECAS or add it in myCIc?. Please guide.

You can try to check eCas. They are still working on early June files.

I sent two emails. One with subject of ONLY "PGP-APR" and another with "PGP-APR and application number". I hope they pick one of it.
Dilemma with emails is you will never get acknowledgement so you never know when they will pick and update myCIC.
Its only a waiting game.

I am thinking what will be the mental condition of your CO when he will get the first e-mail, upload everything to the server and may be 2-3 days later will get the 2nd e-mail. He now have to figure out what to do with the files he uploaded in the first time. Think how much time he have to waste to figure out what is what now.

Hi everyone,
Got couple of questions for Ecas status and linking paper application.
1) do we need to check Ecas status seperatly everyday for sponsor and primary applicant?
2) I am the representative. I have linked paper application to sponsor account. Do we need to link paper application to primary applicant account too? Or all the updates can be received on sponsor account?

1. No. Until SA - you can login under sponsor, after that you can check under PA
2. Either is ok

Is no news, good news? Sent the application in mid June and no AOR or they're not asking for any forms or w/e.....

The latest eCas activated for June 13th file. There are many from end of May, early June still waiting for an eCas update.

That is very rude Its not funny, I am waiting too and it sucks. Just because you didn't had to wait doesnt mean you gonna do that

Hey, like I said, no intent to be rude or rub it in. Trust me I had to wait for my DM as well, I was one of the last ones to get in the May 6th batch...

apologies if it came across as rude...but you can see in other posts for @ZOYAMAN13 that I have also made helpful suggestions...

My parents don’t have birth certificate, Affidavit, and school certificates. All i have is Voter card and Aadhar card.

My question is since they are here in Canada from almost 2 years can i make the affidavit here and would it be valid? Or can i just submit Voter card and Aadhar card?

I am assuming you are from India?

You can get an affidavit in "lieu of the birth certificate" from a Notary Public. You (PA) should provide an explanation letter of why you cannot provide any required document.

Thanks. Their visa status is Visitor. They arrived in April, and 6 month is about to finish soon. They just submitted an extension application.

Do you think that the biometrics request might be because of the visitor visa status?

They will not waive it. Only parents under super visa, who are here for a longer period of time (or under visitor visa but staying for a longer period) got waiver so far I believe.

Is your SA letter looks like this?

If so, you will get another PCC letter.

If this is the letter everyone got from CPC-M, then there will be no additional letter for PCC.
