Wondering if anyone can help / clarify. IMM 5406e is to filled out by my mother-in-law (who we are sponsoring), my wife (who is the sponsor) and my borther-in-law as they are her children? Is this true even if they are in their late 30s / 40s and not "dependent" on my mother-in-law?

thanks in advance.

so when you did not receive the correspondence on your email, it was only once.

then it seems like they fixed the issue hence you got sponsorship approval via email. correct?
Yes. U r right. As per agent, they sent document request via myCIC and which I never received. He told me that if u need the letter contact technical team but u can upload requested document via webform cause u don't need letter now as I told u what is requested.
I don't know if they fixed it later or what. I did get AOR from my LVO after sponsorship approval email from CPC-M

Hi guys, just curious if there is any theory on how the local visa office is chosen for an application?

A friend of mine whose parents still live in Southeast East Asian has Mississauga as processing office. I thought the location is chosen based on the address of our parents?
It depends what the CO decides..if s/he deemed "PA" is a Canadian residence (may or may not be in Canada), it will be CPC M

it is really weird and unfair but it’s CIC so there’s nothing we can do.

There should be a mechanism for us (customers) to rate their performance but I bet they’ll get poor 1 star rating at the end
Agreed. I sent the additional documents on early October requested on Sep. 27. No updates then after.

I have a question. Hoping that you guys can help me here... ):

on My Ecas, looks like the immigration office has already sent the letter for the biometrics request on Oct 17th and the medical check up request on Oct 25th. However, my parents or I have not received a letter for us to complete the request. Is it normal to wait for this long? I am afraid that my parents can’t meet the 30 days deadline ...

Much appreciated if you guys could give me some ideas ... thank you so much!

Anyone who is currently in Canada, on visitor visa or super visa are considered Temporary resident.

Have you checked mycic? If it is not in mycic then also check your mail / post box. If it is not there as well then I will suggest call the ircc call centre. As the 30 days clock is ticking.

If you can't meet the timeline then you can still get the extension.

"resident" meaning living in Canada in this case. When review the contact address, mailing address, resident address and travel history, the CO (correctly or incorrectly) decide where the PA is living and based on that deciding the LVO.

Hello,

Can somebody please help with Biometric Request if they went through a similar process. I received a letter with 30 day time period. My parents were in Canada when I submitted the application and still are in Canada. Letter I received advise that they have to leave Canada to do the biometrics done. IRCC website does say that in this circumstances they can be exempt but when I asked the agent in IRCC no confirm answer, one said no they had to leave, other said it would be okay and send a web form request. I spoken to several local immigration consultants and all say they had to leave. My own consultant says they do not need to. Letter specifically says if they do not present themselves for Biometric by the due date, there application will be refused. They are elderly and it is very expensive at this time to get a ticket in sort notice and they just came back from India a month ago. IRCC agent said Web request might get 3-4 weeks reply. Is there somebody in the forum who had similar situation and were they exempted? Please help.Thanks

My mom did biometrics a week ago. On the same day enrollment info was updated under Applicant Info on mycic. However, as of now Biometrics section on mycic still shows "we need your fingerprints to process your application."

Is this a technical glitch? Anyone has experience with this?

Thank you.
