Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2019

[afged]

Regarding your question about virtual landing for your parents... If I were you I would have never done that because the immigration system is extremely slow and dumb and just sending this request to them and confusing them could cost you another 6 months or a year.
If you search this thread you'll find some posts about reliable travel agencies in Tehran which people have used to send their passports to Ankara for visa. I have not heard of any issues with that and is not that expensive. I've done it before for super visa.

i guess you can not send passports by post across border

I know we should go to the country/city where the visa office is and mail it from there I guess.

Hello, current status here is Sponsorship: Decision Made (made within last couple days), PR application: In Process
ECAS says application received, June 25, 2019 and "started processing your application on November 25, 2020."

Biometrics were requested July 20 and medical on July 26.

My question is should I be worried about the sponsored person's address appearing on the biometric letter and the medical as the sponsoree's Canadian address? The sponsoree has never been to Canada (yet). The request is also coming from CPC Mississauga instead of an overseas visa office. Should I try let to someone know the applicant is not in Canada? Would it simply be made obvious when biometic and medical is received from a China site? I don't know how they got the Canadian address associated with an applicant in China. The China address is admittedly hard to make sense of. Could processing at Mississauga just be a China thing?

The second problem is with the biometrics. The collection centre in China could only get one fingerprint on the left hand. The centre says they will submit that way and see what happens. Has anyone else ever had this problem?

For various reasons related to China's strict centralized quarantine for every visit and the applicant needing moving assistance it would be more convenient to bring her over about 15 months from now than this year. But as it stands now she has to arrive at the very latest by August 26, 2022, right? Cuz she's got 30 days to do the medical and then has to arrive within 12 months of that unless the government halts processing and the medical expires right?

No need to worry for the address mistake by CIC. If you send webform request they can correct that easily in few months.
Biometrics and Medical done in China are valid as done in Canada. Remember that appointment for IME takes few days even in Canada.

What documents were asked and did they assign file number starting with F for the case?

Is this a new requirement from Ankara? Do you have a link? I know travel agencies are still doing the passport pickup service and nothing stated here:

They did. My line is updated which additional form they requested.
Yesterday they sent the biometric request. Ecas says In Process, today, ecas is showing "decision made". i am yet to receive the medical request.

Thank you. Updated tracker.
I think the AOR must have combined with the additional doc request.
Keep checking your email for SA letter that comes after few days.
When did you receive invitation to apply? April 24, 25 or 26?

In my case, I"m still waiting for SA letter more than 1 month after DM1, and I saw ppl in the same situation still waiting
Hopefully, this is not a case of @1tintin2

No I don't have any reference for that, I thought that's what you said!
If they are not accepting in person passport pickup and drop off then it has to be mailed and apparently we cannot mail passports to Ankara from Iran. If someone doesn't do it through travel agencies then has to go to Ankara and mail it from there. That was my impression

After spending long time researching everyone's applications in the excel file, I have to admit Albertan's applications are slowest. Recently, ON and BC made lots of progress. However, AB seems not started yet.

Hello everyone

Need your valuable feedback.

I applied for my single parent pr in 2019. Submitted the medical, RCMP and police clearance from back home. Today I got two emails one for pre arrival settlement and the other for PR confirmation portal asking for some details. The email says that we are on last step of your application. I asked my friends (they got same letter) and they said the next step would be uploading picture and COPR. But my concern is that in this whole process they never asked for biometrics.

isn’t that strange? Did anyone experience this? What would you suggest?
