    Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2021

    Going by dates you seem to be part of PGP2022. However you posted in 2021 thread. Anyways all the best for the rest of the process.

    Try removing the X from prefix to link. I suppose if the family name is blank then use the first name. For #2 I guess you are right in including everyone. Anyways search through this thread as there were such queries and responses that helped during Dec 2023 to Jul/Aug 2023. All the best!

    Now average processing time is up to 26 months. In 5 to 6 months it is up by roughly the same number of months. Signs of things to come :(

    As per below one should have primary residential address in Canada. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/family-sponsorship/sponsor-parents-grandparents/eligibility.html

    Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2021

    I believe your application is in PGP2021 cycle. Going by different posts my take is that Vancouver office is either heavily understaffed or bunch of procrastinators. In either case if you are from 2021 cycle and hence past 24 months current processing time they most likely will not sleep over...

    In the earlier posts have read people doing that. In fact I felt that helped them speed up the process. Just sort out how you can get PCC from Canada. Again have read many people get that as well from here. Just check for all the PCCs you need. Also go over the link below. It seems earlier...

    Have read on this forum that post 24 months before one can write to local MP and request their intervention to get proper status updates and enquire reasons for delay.

    Nope. Haven't heard of applications moving in Vancouver. So feel gcms notes are not going to help in processing faster. If applications in Vancouver start moving and still we don't hear back for a couple of months then will ask for gcms notes.

    Please keep us posted. In Sep after SA ours was moved from Mississauga to Vancouver. Since then pin drop silence.

    And delaying the process by a year or so will save a lot? What you have mentioned is already controlled by how many applicants are allowed for PGP every year. I would prioritize by clearing at least 90 to 95% applications of an earlier intake year before processing the next year applicants. What...

    Wish they had their act much more organized. Anyways can't blame them, the whole IRCC department in a way should be accountable. If they see different service standards across offices they should know Vancouver is sub-par on PGP applications.. What on earth takes so long for approving...

    Then you missed this: I guess no option but to wait another year or so.

    Does he have an old expired passport? Maybe you can upload that and put in the explanation letter that you are awaiting passport renewal along with evidence of renewal request. If he does not have a passport at all I suppose missing the deadline is not an option. You can upload an explanation...

    It is difficult to say if it will be 21 months or more. I suspect it will be more (reasons stated in my previous response) unless they decide to prioritize PGP applications which is rather unlikely. The text published states:"Processing times in a given year are calculated based on 80% of...

    That it's going to be a long wait for many of us as just 1% were finalized by August. Plus given the higher volumes for 2021 the pending inventory is quite high which does not help 2022 applicants.

    Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2019

    I am not familiar with your personal circumstances. However, I suppose PR renewal is just $50 per person (and add photograph costs to that). There is a potential scenario that one of them is left alone in this world, in which case the one left may want to be with the children. I see several...

    Parents & Grandparents Program(PGP) 2022

    It seems like Vancouver office is not as quick as CPC Mississauga. Based on the tracker it takes time after SA. Looking at other applications there I am expecting any further steps next year as SA came on Sep 13th for us. Don't get anxious, just wait a month or two.
