Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2019

[Zahra NZ]

What’s your sponsorship status? Have you received approval for it? If not, you are not going to see much progress in permanent residency application and your application will stay in Mississauga office.

My eligibility is in process. My eligibility has not been approved yet. Means even the first step has not been done.
The latest letter I received was the AOR which said your application to sponsor was accepted.
Is there anything, like a letter or form that I can send to get some answer?

You can either try sending a webform or ordering gcmc notes since you already tried your MPs.

Hi
Usually when parents have a valid biometric they don't ask for a new one. Did your mother complete biometric for her visitor visa and dose the biometric valid ?

No, my mom did not do biometric for Visitor Visa. But she did medical twice this year for Visitor Visa.
We received Biometric letter for PR Application and completed, It is valid for 10yrs.

Best Regards
RenukaVasanth.

For BC health card, you need to fill up the application form that needs a copy of COPR. It is online form and your parents will receive a letter to go to ICBC to take photos after few weeks.
For SIN, you need to get appointment with Service Canada.
Both are easy process-wise but sometimes the first one needs time as PR card has to come before your go to ICBC.

Thank you very much!

hi everyone! can someone please share your experience with Covid 10 isolation for parents when they land here in BC? I have 2 options here
1- Rent a place for 14 days and deliver food to my parents everyday
2- My parents can quarantine with us at home where they have their own washroom and own room. We supply food. We live in a townhouse.

Please let me know if option 2 is also allowed in BC.

Thanks,

According to Federal entry requirements https://travel.gc.ca/travel-covid/t...MIvozw5ZqW8gIVBPjICh2riAC8EAAYASAAEgILivD_BwE
Option 2 seems to apply

If someone can confirm.

While in quarantine

• Do not leave your place of quarantine unless it is for a medical emergency, an essential medical service or treatment, to obtain a COVID-19 molecular test, or it is pre-authorized by a Quarantine Officer
• Use only private outdoor spaces (i.e. balcony)
• Do not have any visits from family or guests
• Do not use shared spaces such as lobbies, courtyards, restaurants, gyms or pools

Quarantining with others in the same household
Mandatory quarantine only applies to travellers who have entered Canada.

Travellers who are under quarantine must avoid contact with anyone they did not travel with:

• stay in separate rooms
• use separate bathrooms (if possible)
• keep surfaces clean
• avoid sharing personal items
• limit interactions with others in the household

Co-habitants should also follow the guidance of their local public health authorities.

I think so, too. Just wanted to see if anyone has similar experience.

Hi everyone. If anyone has recently sent documents to VFS Delhi please can you let me know if both parents passports are sent in one package? Or is it two packages?
Also at what address is this mail addressed to?

Thank you.

Hi Everyone! I applied for my parents for the PGP around June 2021, in end of July I received the Pre-arrival service letter, however, recently I got emails from CIC to ask for additional documents for IMM5562 and IMM5669 (I have submitted them before), is this normal?

Most people are in the same boat when they expected a passport request after Pre-arrival service letter but IRCC asked for some additional documents such as Travel History or Residency History. Some have received medical requests and biometrics.

Thanks Garry! Great to know that, appreciate it! I've provided the medical requests, biometrics and previous set of additional documents several month before, so when I got the pre-arrival service letter, thought I get close to it, but guess still a bit way to go.

Well, it's positive news that they are working on your application. As long as you will provide the required documents on time you should be fine.

Hello,

I sponsored my in-laws from the USA in 2018 and they were approved in 2019. They were set to travel in April 2020 but Covid-19 hit which they couldn't travel because of all the restrictions and uncertainty of the virus. Fast forward to 2021, they were told their medical is extended to August 2021 and they should send their copy of their passport and photos for the new CoPR, and return envelope in May, which they did and it was received. We are still waiting to get the new CoPR. We have reached out to our MP and even for them they got different answers. Does anyone know what else we can do? Does getting a lawyer help? Everybody is in limbo...

@laxsun @robertp @serious_cheese

An update - but not very favourable sadly
Line 567
Received Procedural Fairness Letter on August 5th 2021 . This is relating to my father ( my mother is principal applicant )
Reasons given - Possible Medical inadmissibility - Excessive Medical demands . - Kidney Disease
File Transferred to Niagara Visa office ( was previously in Pretoria )

We were given 90 days to respond - which is alot longer than the usual 30 days - I assume due to Covid ?

I was expecting this , but hoping for a better result from medical ( wishful thinking )

I will be talking to an immigration lawyer this week .
I just haven't decided who yet .

HI everyone,
I also need to apply expression of "INTEREST TO SPONSOR" my parents during this year 2021. I am disappointed to understand that this year during 2021 no new applications are being called from eligible applicants. Can you please clarify on the following issues?

1) Is is true that quota for 2020 draw has been increased from 10000 to 40000 (additional 30000).

2) Is this implies that the draw being taken out of 2020 applicants pool will be 40000?

3) When expression of "INTEREST TO SPONSOR" for eligible applicants for the year 2021 will be called?

Shall be thankful.
