Affidavit is not accepted as a proof of relationship. I also did not had a marriage certificate for my parents and I attached an affidavit. Now, I got an email from CIC asking for Voter card for my parents with note that Affidavit is not accepted as a proof of relationship.

In India, your parents can register their marriage now. Processing time is like 10-15 days.
Thanks
If you have or had Indian passport, it should have your parents name.even if passport is cancelled ,you can still submit that as proof of relationship Have it notorized .

Also, my parents reside in Vietnam but in the letter it said:

Accordingly, the Application for Permanent Residence for your relative will be processed at CPC-Mississauga. This office was selected based on
your relative’s home address and the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.

I thought it should be somewhere in Singapore?
Your information in the tracker is updated. There is no specific criteria to assign visa office. Many outland applications got VO assigned to CPC-M and for most of them it moved quite faster than other VOs.

Forum members your advice highly appreciated on these concerns I have !
May 29th application
Stuck in process for PA

1. I am renewing the visitors record - but medical expires on Dec 16th ...

Will I get request to redo it again ?
And can I write to them to extend validity as PR application is under process!

What are the chances they will extend

2. In visitors record we have a letter that says biometrics not needed as completed on Dec 4th ( which is the first time my mother did biometrics for her PR application)

Yet they keep requesting biometrics letter .
Cic agent also says biometrics received.
So why case officer would resend it again !!!!

Thanks
Many of us are waiting in same situation. Some already got request to redo the medical. This is because of pandemic and nothing is sure.

Hello, first time asking questions in this thread so forgive me if the answer is too obvious. We submitted the application for my wife's parents in May 29th, 2019 but we're still waiting for the final decision. Is this normal? The medical results had been reviewed in Nov 12, 2019 and no updates since then. I also ordered GCMS notes a month ago but didn't get any updates from them other than the payment confirmation. Any suggestion how to find out more about the application? And what should I do for the expiring medical exam date?

Thanks!

for 2019 PGP sponsorship who ever is still waiting, What is the financial income we need to maintain for the year 2020? Do we still have to add 30% to minimum necessary income or we can use the new reduced minimum necessary income for 2020 ? As there is a possibility they might reaccess the income before issuing the PR to our parents / grandparents.

Did they ask you for biometrics yet
That's true! I contacted my MP last year and they only responded to him that CIC was waiting for my social assistance clearance from the province! They get the response from the province in January 2020 but did nothing about it. My MP contacted them last week again to follow up and it seems that they took my application out of the drawer! It's funny that they don't respond to any of my inquiries and only do something when MP asks for updates...
