saw that Sponsor side DM1 has changed from In process to Decision made today. Please update @YULIA-2016 and @robertp . Haven't seen any email or changes in anywhere else. don't know what is the decision made either.

Expect a sponsorship approval letter in few days stating the local visa office. Sometime you get biometric request in same time depending upon visa office. Keep checking your emails.

Can someone please help? Does anyone know if we can postpone landing after visa granted? How long is the visa valid for? My parents prefer staying home for another 6 to 8 months before coming to Canada, it might be best to land next June or July even if visa is granted today.

If you have received visa for your parents, can you please let me know how long the visa is valid for? Thanks.

Yes, I did when I became a PR. The photos are fine. Costco has the specifications, you just ask them for PR photos.

There would be expiry date on the visa, your parents should land before that date. They used to issue the visa until the expiry of the medical exam. If you recently did the medical then you may have enough time to land.

Normally, 1 year after medical test

In your case, visa should expire in October 2021

Hi,

I received a request to submit rcmp fingerprints, marriage certificate of my parnets, govt service form and biometrics, my parents r in india and they managed to get rcmp fingerprinting from there but there is no way they can give biometrics there as they r closed in India. So shall I send the document and write them that due to covid 19 , centers r closed so we can't provide biometrics or shall i wait them to reopen.

Did anyone send an explanation for that and they accepted the exemption for biometrics?

Thx

They will not be exempted of biometrics. Their application will be on hold till centres open again. IRCC knows that some biometric centres are closed due to the pandemic.
