Has anybody got gcms notes recently?

I did, early Dec
I don't know why I have to jump through hoops to get information that should be available to any applicants on their account page...

It is at last stage, everything else was done more than a year ago.

Hi
My dad also got US visa whlie in canada & he visited US just for 3-4 hours. Do we need to provide that information? On which form, we need to declare? It’s been 1 & 1/2 year since we applied. So I don’t remember where we need to declare. I just want to check if everything was ok on my application form.

I am not sure if you need to update if you get it after application filing, but for my dad they are asking before application filing date and he never applied for it though.

Today we began sending invitations to apply for the 2020 Parents and Grandparents Program. We encourage those who submitted interest to sponsor forms in the fall of 2020 to check their email accounts regularly throughout the week.

I am looking for a way out
Primary applicant (dad) is in Canada and dependent (mom) is in India.

How and where to send passports is something not clear?

Just avoiding travel during covid.

Both dependent and primary applicant has to be in the same place I believe

It was in 2018 & I forgot to mention as it was only 3-4 hours visit. So there was no address information for US. Do you remember on which form we provide them this information?

Hello Experts,
Do you have any update from the London VO? Application has been in process since July 2020 as per ECAS but no communication from them since. When should we expect the medical and PCC requests? Do the 20-24 months processing timelines posted on the IRCC website still hold true?

Thanks!!

We applied in the grandparents category. If the parent has to renew their passport, do we update the information with the IRCC? In our case, passport was used as a proof for the parent and grandchild relationship.
Though passport expires in July 2021, was thinking maybe wait a bit before renewing, hopefully the PR application might be finalized before that. Any suggestions?

IRCC ask for additional documents including travel history during the process of application. I am not sure at what stage you are. Normally PCC and travel history are asked together, in that you have to provide all details of travel in form imm5562 for last 10 years

You have to get it renewed immediately as the passports should have 12 months to expire before ppr. Renew the passports and update through webform with a copy of new passports.

Isn't the 12 months validity applicable only to either the sponsor or the applicant's passports? Parent is not the direct sponsor in our case.

Finally after months and years of waiting we have received passport request. I am on the tracker, but not sure of the line, under "joyus"

Application submitted - Apr 30 2019
Medical passed - Dec 2, 2019 (got extension on Jan 4th 2021 to Jan 4 2022)
Medical pass Extension update on myCIC - Jan 4, 2021
PA Decision made - Jan 5, 2021
PPR request - Jan 5, 2021

Mother is in India and will be submitting PP to Delhi through VFS.

Hopefully things will move bit more smoothly from here. My mother is 79, widowed and living on her own especially during the pandemic so I can't express how I feel right now. It has been a roller coaster ride for us the past 2 years. Wishing everyone good luck to all waiting for their time to come! There will be light at the end of the tunnel!!!

Hi @joyus, Congratulations, your line on tracker shows PCC submitted proactively, Does that mean you submitted another PCC in Dec 2020 ?

Please advise.

Thanks
