Hello everyone,
I am a dependent included in my parents’ Canadian PR application under the Protected Person stream in Quebec. My parents applied on March 27, 2025, and they have already received their CSQ, but I have not received mine yet and am not sure about my status.
On January 16, 2026, I received the following letter from IRCC:
Application: Gxxxxxxxxx
UCI: xxxxxxxxx
Date: January 16, 2026
Dear [My Name],
Your name was included as a family member in an in-Canada application for permanent residence made by a protected person: [My Parents' Names].
For us to process this application, all family members who are not already Canadian citizens or permanent residents must also provide documents and information.
If your details have changed since you have provided the information, you are encouraged to supply us with the updated information, following the instructions contained in this letter.
I have submitted the requested documents as instructed.
I have a few questions and would really appreciate advice from those with experience:
Thank you in advance for any guidance or experiences you can share!

I have a few questions and would really appreciate advice from those with experience:
- Does this letter mean my application is officially acknowledged and active by IRCC?
- Is this considered a good sign that my PR process is moving forward?
- What are the next steps for an overseas dependent like me? (biometrics, medical, CSQ, PPR, etc.)
- How long does it usually take after receiving this letter to get the next request or CSQ?
- Has anyone else in a similar situation received this letter and can share their timeline?
Thank you in advance for any guidance or experiences you can share!
