    Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2018

    So to clarify my earlier post as I got PPR today - if your parents are from a country whose citizens do not need visas to enter Canada, you do not need to send the passports, only photocopies of the pages with the picture (along with the PPR letter and 2 recent photos for each person). If...

    Do not think it matters where they are and on what visa. You should submit what is required and they will guide you through process. Once all approved and they have the passports back in their hands, if your parents are here, they can go to the border to enter Canada or make an appointment to do...

    Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2018

    I am in the same boat and waiting but I think they will need the passports anyway. Your parents may not need a visa to enter Canada as visitors but now they will be entering to become permanent residents. I believe a visa is issued in their passports in all cases in these circumstances...

    Got DM for applicant. No passport request yet. Paris office. Second round 2018. Here are the emails for that office if Yulia or anyone else want to add that to the SS. May help someone else. PARISIMMIGRATION@international.gc.ca paris-immigration@international.gc.ca

    Hi all. Seems that there is some stalling of applications. Anyone heard anything from Paris? (I know not many applications get sent there). Also - does anyone know the email for LVO Paris so I can send an inquiry? I did not see such email in the SS. Thanks in advance.

    Yes, likely the biometrics requirement was not in place for your country when you submitted the application. CIC will not issue request for passport if they needed biometrics I do not think. Passports is the last step

    Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2018

    You have been approved as sponsor. Likely will get an email soon to let you know what LVO you got. What is the status under Applicant in e-cas? That may help to determine where things are at

    Exactly what we discussed couple pages ago. It is a risk for parents to leave right away before PR is issued because of this issue they may encounter with having to go for new photos.

    Nothing for you to do. It is updated by the VAC. Ours showed immediately in the GCKey as Completed. If you are checking e-cas, you will not see anything there. Ours still shows We sent you a letter....

    You should look at the SS. Seems Mexico applications are moving slowly. April 18 was just 2 months ago. I am not sure you need to be worried.

    Just pages with info, not whole passport.

    To comment on my own comment - after calling CIC yesterday, I got the DM letter last night. DM June 14, file forwarded to Paris (not sure why as my LVO based on country per the CIC website is Bucharest, but anyhow).

    SS says Ottawa. YULIA or someone should fix this.

    I doubt they will outright reject you. Likely will ask for the missing signatures to ensure file is complete before sending AOR. Maybe even accept what you have submitted. I do not think you should be doing anything now.

    I do not think the requirement applies to you. You may have overpaid the fee but not sure parents will be asked to give biometrics. I think you should just wait and let process takes its course.

    Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2018

    Sorry - Can you see applicant section in e-case? If so, that is where you will find a notice that says We sent you a letter on X date. And when you go to GCKey, you will see the letter in your file. That is how it was for me. And I also got an email that letters have been added to GC Key. But...

    So how do you know LVO is London? My DM was June 5 but no correspondence yet.

    Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2018

    That was me. I got biometrics letter before DM. Seems there is no uniform practice. If you look at GC Key, biometrics section is just before background so seems it may happen even later. What did you get today for DM? Email? I called CIC today and was told I have been approved as sponsor but I...

    It may not happen to everyone (maybe you were lucky, maybe picture was fine) but there is a risk. I wanted to flag as it may be relevant for other people. Sometimes parents need to go back quickly for all sorts of reasons. In the case of the person who was asking earlier, I would think from now...
