Good morning all,
My husband is the co-signer to my parents sponsorship application which we mailed to Cic in mid June. His PR card renewed yesterday with anew card number than what we have submitted.

Please advise how can I update Cic with the new PR card number of the co-signer!
I am so worried please help! Thanks all.
You can submit the update via CIC online portal

to link application use following formula to count family member
[Sponsor + if co-signer] no kids + [ PA + if dep]

use PA passport # and date to link application .

Okay, my dad is married to my mom.
I will change the family size into 5 ppl.
My baby was born in 2018
so for the income requirements :
2016 - 4 ppl
2017- 4 ppl
2018- 5 ppl
Right?
if there are no other dependent for your mother and you (and your spouse -in case a co-sponsor) have not sponsorred anyone in past then yes, that is correct

For those that have progressed further with their applications, have you found the biometrics, medial and police check requests come via email or via the MyCIC?

I had the same issue for more than 3 weeks and finally linked on July 29th. I think the only way is to keep trying it. I tried every combination and the following one worked for me:

use File application number
use city of birth of PA but not the passport #
to count family member : [Sponsor + if co-signer] no kids + [ PA + if dep]

My application for PGP2019 was received on Jun 8. I haven't received the email with the file number yet. How many weeks does it take to get the file nu
I understand the process bar is meaningless .The reason i am asking is that my application was received on may10th,and I'm able to see the bar until this noon.So i am assuming they are processing my application?
How much time did it take to get a file number?

You can get an idea from the tracker, but I would say expect something after mid August

My ECAS says application received but CIC account says, we are processing your application and will let you know, once we start reviewing your eligibility !!!!!
Confused ? It is IN-PROCESS or APP Received stage only ?

**Opinion**

Rather than adding the progress bar to the CIC application status, they should have put those hours into processing applications :)
It is a system upgrade and done by their IT staff. Case officers aren't the one did this upgrade. Just saying. Processing time is 20 to 24 months. They might have done this upgrade because of some impatience applicants.
