Hello All, PPR request received yesterday after 3 yrs & 3 months for my parents. I believe that they will get only 1 month to do the landing since their Medicals are going to expire by early Nov. Correct?

Quick question: After landing, how long are they required to stay in Canada i.e. how long before they can travel out of Canada? (I am aware of the 2yrs in 5 yrs requirement). Is it till the time they receive their PR card that they can would have to stay in Canada before they can travel out? Need to plan their Canada landing trip and hence the question. Thanks in advance!
Congrats to your parents, I believe the COPR will be valid till the end of medicals. They can travel anytime as long as you have the 2 out of 5 years in mind. PR card currently takes about 2 to 3 months. I believe you can mail it to them if they need to travel back home urgently

Hi All
After 3+ years of waiting my parents are now permanent residents.
They have been in Canada since Jan 2020 and pm Sep 13, 2022 they completed their 2nd medical. Sep 26, mycic showed medical passed and simultaneously we received an email from cic asking if they are still present in Canada. We responded right away, and within an hour we received a letter on email and on mycic account and they are now officially permanent residents and asked us to mail a copy of their picture to the london office!
@laxsun please update tracker when time permits!

Hope they will receive their PR card soon.

Can you see your mother's medical pass date in MyCIC under dependents' details?
There's no medical passed date under dependent's details.

Can any one guide how to link PR application on GcKey. Thanks
This is from the last page of the tracker
LinkHow to link app to MyCIC
Tip-1After you login, you click on Link App to this Account button. Choose Permanent Residence in category and Family Class (Parents & Grandparents) in sub-categpry. This will open all the required fields you will need to fill up.
Tip-2
Tip-3Sometimes leaving city and country of birth fields empty work.
Tip-4In the passport section, enter the info as seen in the originally sent passport of PA. Sometime leaving the entire passport fields blank work.
Tip-5Match the city and province name you entered in the original app. Leaving them blank work sometimes as well.
Tip-6The most tricky part is the Number of Family Members. In most cases, this needs to match exactly how you declared your family size in the original app. For a family of 6 (sponsor+sponsor's spouse+2 kids+both parents), this can work for any number from 2 to 6. So, you have to try all numbers within the range. Most likely it work for 4 leaving the number of children. You can also try leaving the field blank.
Tip-7As I've seen, it takes several tries to successfully link the app. Good luck!!!
