2011 (May-November) Parents sponsorship applicants join here

Hi again,
So I have two sets of parents processing in Sri Lanka, mine and my in-laws under the parent sponsorship.
They asked me to pay the Right of PR fee back in Nov 2016 - just for my parents-after we submitted the medicals and police clearances. Its been paid so I'm wondering why its taking so long to finalize my parents and brother?
I'm wondering if it's because of my in laws application coz they asked for a police clearance from Sri Lanka but we said we cant provide it coz they currently don't have legal status in the country - they haven't lived there since 2005 - so we quoted the following:
If you do not have legal status, you are not required to provide a Sri Lankan police certificate. If you are asked for a Sri Lankan police certificate, write: “I cannot provide a police certificate for the time I spent in Sri Lanka because certificates are only available to people who have legal status.”

Then, they sent us an email recently questioning how they lived there without legal status in the past?!? They seem to have confused present legal status with the past. What we said was they do not CURRENTLY have legal status so cannot obtain a police certificate as that was our understanding as per the CIC website re. police cert from Sri Lanka. So now they have asked for ALL exit entry stamps to Sri Lanka along with an explanation of how they lived there without legal status.

Question 1)Did we misunderstand the verbiage on CIC? Coz it's written in the present tense not past when it says' If you do not have legal status, you are not required to provide a Sri Lankan police certificate. If you are asked for a Sri Lankan police certificate, write: “I cannot provide a police certificate for the time I spent in Sri Lanka because certificates are only available to people who have legal status.”

We have previously sent them police certificates from ALL the countries my in-laws have lived in and had previously sent them requested passport pages of exit entry stamps of all countries including sri lanka so they can clearly see these are law abiding citizens. It seems every few months they keep asking for more information and its been delaying the whole process.

Question 2) why are they holding up my parents application after paying the RPRF? Is it because of my in-laws application?
We are wondering if they ever plan to issue the PR, its been nothing short of frustrating. Any advice on what we can do to speed things up?

It is good, But your profile still did not say, what is your visa office. I think every visa office is different time.

So you may have to search old posts here, or from excel sheet some one made, have to check for time for that visa office.
Also you can request GCMS notes to find out what is happening to file. Again you have to work (read old posts) to educate yourself. It would be helpful for you and others as well.

Thanks

i have no experience about any such similar case. Just sending the a guess

1. I don't think there is any sort relation between your in-laws application and Parents application. There may another reason for the delay, e.g. may be checking brother's continue education or travel history for Parents, also background check for Parents served in POlice and Miltary, you can find Posts here from people's applications in Sri Lanka and check for time line after RPRF etc. again it is different for everyone. You can order GCMS notes to check what is status of the application at present

2. I don't think you misunderstood, Even what ever is said on CIC' website and you had provided, but still CIC may need to ask stamps and other information. I think you should NOT delay and provide that information OR consult a experienced professional/lawyer
3. I don't think CIC can hold your parents applications because of your in-laws. YOU can ask for GCMS notes and find out

Thanks

I don't think you will receive PPR soon as per this information you have not received the medical neither the background check has started which is the next step after the passing the medical. Once you receive medical request and your parents pass medical then status will show " You have passed the Medical Exam"
