Hi all,

I'm sponsoring my parents to come to Canada and really appreciate your opinions about my case.

Back to 40 years ago, my father changed his year of birth on his birth certificate from 1960 to 1950. And 1950 becomes his official year of birth on all other documents till today. The reason for this change is because he tried to avoid the military service back then.

On the sponsorship application, he provided 1950 as the year of birth which is matched with other documents (birth certificate, passport, marriage certificate). On his schedule A, however, we still declared my father graduated from high school in 1978 - which is the actual year he finished high school but that would make him graduate from high school at the age of 28 because his year of birth on paper is 1950.

Now that IRCC is requesting updated schedule A from the age of 18 of my father and his proof of study. Can anyone give me your opinion what is the best response to IRCC in this situation. Note that we no longer have any proof of my father's study.

Should I write a letter to explain to IRCC that my father changed his year of birth back then. I'm leaning toward this approach but I'm still afraid it may open a can of worm and make IRCC question more about my father's application.

You opinion is appreciated!

Many have suggested you say the truth, which 100% corrects and I believe you should have done at the start of the application. However, this is passed, let's take about today.

I would strongly urge you to consult with some professionals regarding this matter before proceeding and providing them the information they requested you.

Here is my suggestion, do not make changes to anything. if they have asked you to submit the updated Schedule A, take the last one you provided and make changes to it by adding data from the date you submitted the application till today.

Regarding educational documents:

Here is my personal approach. this not economic class immigration, and they are not going to evaluate application on the educational background of your parents. If you do not have that just write them an explanation letter, documents not available/ Not issued back then.

Not sure why they asking from age 18, usually it is for the past 10 years.

Good luck!

Hello @YULIA-2016 @robertp ,

Received a notification that decision has been made with COPR today. File is in London VO. There are no messages on MyCIC but it says there are 3 COPRs with expiry a year from now. My parents and my sister are already in Canada under supervisa (sister under student visa).

Do you know what is supposed to happen now? Will they mail the COPRs?

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR ALL YOUR HELP AND I WISH EVERYONE THE BEST.

Congratulations! First COPR from London in a long time!

Hi,

Please help me update the status on Line 475, Almondjuice.

April 20, 2021 _____ Received 2nd medical exam request for both parents.

Will update you on the submission and the result.

My father was requested a second X-ray and a Sputum culture during his first exam and passed. I have asked the Panel Physician whether they could attach the last X-ray and Sputum Culture result during this submission to avoid a second additional test. The Panel Physician says they would do so but it depends on CIC's decision whether he needs additional or not. Hopefully it can be skipped. If not, it would be the 4th X-ray my dad gets in 16 months for this application. Anyone been through the same situation?

Also, how much longer does it take after the second ME passes?

Thanks.

Hi Everyone, We've got the approval (COPR) today!

Thank you all!

Congratulations! You are so lucky.

My parents' ME passed on March 4, and they never extended it and have requested a new one on April 20, 2021. Hopefully our case can be approved soon after the ME done.

 

[gskn4u]

no progress...just biometric done (Feb 2020)... just received an email "Update on IRCC processing capacity ".. anyone in same boat?

 

[naticom]

Sounds like CPC-M is clearing the backlogs lately and anyone who did re-ME lately has very high chance to get approved right after ME approval. Is this a correct statement?

Congratulations! You are so lucky.

Your case is coming to closer to issue of PR letter.. Shortly you may hear.. In the meanwhile, You should be quick in response to CIC if there is any question from them..

Many people have responded you on your question.. while they are correct in their version, but I personally feel you may be attracting many more questions on the issue.. I dont know what you have already submitted, but if there is scope to add, you can say schooling was started late due to economical condition, it may be sufficient and may serve the purpose..

Hi everyone,
My parents file has been progressing very slowly. Complete silence since their Medical back in Jan 2021.
Do you know if it would make any difference in the processing time should my parents come to Canada on a SuperVisa?
Thanks,
JT

Hi folks,

Feel free to get professional opinion. My take on this is:
They don't have to work. The sponsor has signed a 20 year agreement with the govt.
But, because they're going to be landing as permanent residents, they can choose to work if they feel like.

Hi Everyone,

I applied for my parents file in 2019. As of now, the ecas status says below:

1. We received your application for permanent residence on June 18, 2019.

There has been no update in the past almost 2 years? Most of the posts that I see here are at far more advanced stage.
Is the timeline of my parents file normal?
