Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2019

[laxsun]

Does anyone know if we sponsor our parents from Alberta but can they enter the country and live in a different province or they HAVE TO come and stay in Alberta?
@laxsun any advice or information on this? Parents have to enter the country before December but was thinking if parents can come and live in a different province as we are planning to move.

As per my understanding, PRs are free to move to any Canadian address.

I have been asked to provide below information for my parents
"Travel History Info Form: Information on your previous travel history (trip duration and purpose) including citizenship and resident document information. for you and your spouse."

Can someone confirm if the form to use is IMM5562e.
Also, what does "including Citizenship and resident document information", i do not see any section in IMM5562 where i can fill the Citizenship and resident information.

Travel history is IMM5562e. You may include your citizenship in the purpose column. For example: "on business trip with UK passport"

So it doesnt matter if their entry point wont be the province from where they were sponsored? I mean after they enter the country they can move to different province but is it not like if they are sponsored from a specific province they have to first enter to that province?

Definitely i will respond to Vancouver's email. I will give them details of medical that was done last year in august and i think thats about it because i re read the email regarding police clearence and its only if my mother stayed in canada ever more than 6 months which she never has.

As far as medical is concerned, I assumed that since the medical was going to expire; they had sent the request in advance. I reached out to the MP's office and found out that background and security is complete, which I think is the last step before the ppr/copr. But I don't know when the security was completed. I would suggest, send the webform about medical but also get it done to avoid any delays.

It will be better if you talk with an IRCC agent.

Done!! Finally the process is now complete. Today we were able to download eCoPR, then went to Service Canada and got SIN, opened a bank account, and applied for health card.
Started with the application to Ottawa in June of 2019 and finally got eCoPR today in July of 2022. Thank you so much to each and everyone for info sharing!! All the best to who are waiting for their file to complete. Cheers. @YULIA-2016 @robertp @laxsun @serious_cheese

My parents' application was received on May 27, 2019, and still no news. The second medical was completed at the End of April... The security Check is still ongoing. When/How we can hear back from CIC----- BIG Mistry.

Does anyone know how can we send a document to CIC-MONTREAL?
my passport was about to expire in less than 1 year so I got a new one and sent a copy of it to Ankara Visa Office, my Local visa office, but they today replied me back that I should contact CIC-Montreal since they are the primary office responsible for my file.

If you send copies of passports through IRCC webform, that should be fine. You don't need to send to specific visa office.

Hi. I'm seeing this message when I go to mycic page since yesterday. "Our online services are unavailable. Please try again later. Thank you for your patience." Is everybody getting this message? Does it have to do something with rogers?

This PR process is a federal one and you mentioned that you were moving. Logically, the application was to have your parents with you in Canada and that should be wherever you live when they arrive.
