Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2019

[Sardar Ali]

Hi, I'm new to this forum. I've got my PR application approved and planning to land in this April. Can anyone please explain when I will become eligible to sponsor my parents? From what I understood from the details present in their official website, I need to show 3 years of continuous income proof. Does this still hold true or are there any changes that have been made for this year? Is there any other program that allows us to sponsor so that I need not wait for these many years?

The current requirement for PR application is to show income for 3 years but meanwhile you may apply for super visa as well if you have required income for 1 year. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/visit-canada/parent-grandparent-super-visa/eligibility.html

Hi everyone i wish best of luck to each and everyone of you, my experience was unique since my parents were in Afghanistan ,

here is my timeline.

invitation received date : 25 April 2019
Application received in Ottawa June 4th 2019
Biometric : February 12, 2020 Complete
Medicals Passed 25 May 2021
Pre Arrival ecember 24, 2021

I believe passport request is a month after pre arrival letter which was/will send my system automatically unless someone do it manually, anyway a month after I got passport request, an hour after they email me that passport request was send to me by error, I guess they recall the letter because conditions in Afghanistan.

I got another passport request on December 26.
my parents got there Visa on January 3rd.

the funny part is i got another passport request by email after they got their visa and passport ....

Now i have a question both my parents are 65+ and living in Alberta with me, will the medical/ medication cover by Alberta Gov ? or will be there any support from government...? just asking i know and i am happy to take their responsibilities

Thanks

what do you mean by stuck ? they got their file number or something ?

i have exact same timeline, but nothing after request for proof of relationship in early Dec 2021.

do people always get the pre-arrival letter before PPR ? or i might get PPR directly too ?

did you get "decision made" notification between pre-arrival letter and PPR ?

In my case, PPR and Decision Made (Principal Applicant) were on the same day.

@neha17, I can visualize your frustration. I was feeling the same way until recently but suddenly Mississauga VO became quick with my parents’ file.
June 2019 application.
Re-medicals in August 2021 first week.
Request for proof of relationship December 8, 2021.
Pre-arrival letter - just before the start of holidays.
Passport request - January 5, 2022.
Am sure you too will have the good news very soon.

Congrats happy that you parents pr is approved!!I hope mine comes soon. Thank you for the encouragement

CPC-Mississauga is saying that they are busy with cases of Afghanistan which is getting priority over others. Many cases were transferred to other LVOs in the second half of 2021. @farshid55

Ofcourse I empathize with refugees but at the same time frustrated that we are stuck coz priority is elsewhere. Hope it comes soon.

they got their UCI number and than additional document in January 2020 and that was it .

Congratulations on the PPR. Alberta health insurance will cover your parents as they will be Canadian Permanent Resident and you will not be responsible to pay for anything there. You are responsible for all other necessities. They can even access the social services like old age benefit, but if they do, you will get a bill for it as you have signed a paper promising undertaking of their expenses for 25 years. After that they can access those services without any consequence to you.

One you get the COPR, take that to any registry to get the Alberta Health Card for them.

Thanks for your reply. If my understanding is correct, I need to be in Canada for at least an year to apply for super visa. Is that correct?

You should have filed your taxes at least once. That could be less than a year as well but you will need to show the required income. Is your 2021 income enough according to the minimum required income table? Check the income table below:

I would suggest to submit the passport from within Canada as there is not much time till Feb 1st. Request CIC on how to submit it from within Canada.

I'd called IRCC to check and they said the best way would be to submit passports in New Delhi. Does anyone know how long the NDVO takes to stamp PR visa on passport? Pls help.

Hi - kindly update row 352 gcodtao, my parents received their visa on Dec 31.

Good luck to everyone!

 

[DJay1234]

Hi Everyone, Does anyone know how long the New Delhi visa office is taking right now to stamp PR on passport? Pls help as my parents received a letter to submit passport but are already booked to travel here on a supervisa due to family need. Thank you in advance!!
