Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2021

[ScarletSails]

Hi everyone, I submitted an application to sponsor my parents and my brother on November 25, 2021. The last update was that they "passed medical exam" in August 2022. Application is being processed at London IRCC Office (Ontario). I contacted IRCC multiple times and was told that the last step is "security assessment" ("criminality assessment" has passed in February 2023). They told me that IRCC is waiting for security assessment result from CBSA. Has anyone experienced "security assessment" being in progress for months? I applied for GCMS notes in December 2022 but have not received the notes. I am going to request GCMS notes again. Medical exams are expiring in August 2023, and I hope we will get PPR before then.

19 Oct 2021: file submitted
10th Jan 2022: further questions asked
21 Jan 2022: Answers submitted
8th July 2022: Request for Medical
28th July 2022: Medical submitted
11 Aug 2022: Request for Police verification
29Aug 2022: Police verification submitted
28 Jan2023: Email mentioning you are eligible for pre arrival services
10 May 2023: Raised an inquiry under Access to Information act
18 May 2023: Passport submission request
22 May 2023 : Submitted Passport in New Delhi office
6 June 2023: Received passport
12 June 2023: Landed in Canada

Bottom line: If it’s taking much longer than usual you can consider raising GCMS notes. In our case we feel we were stuck for almost 5 months waiting for passport request and only after raising inquiry request they suddenly realized our application is stuck.

Hi , thank you for sharing this. We received the pre arrival notice on Jan 28 as well but no communications after that. Sorry, how do we do the GCMS notes, is it the Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) online request? Thank you.

Yes it is an Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) online request

 

[NoorPirani]

I applied through gcmsapply.com and received in 21 days. If you are in Canada (PR or Citizen) you can apply directly.

Is www.gcmsapply.com is legit, if it is then I am gonna apply it soon. I think the only official site is "Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) online request"

It easily takes 3 weeks to get passport back. You should get it around 23rd/26th June.

Thank you for your response. Is it three weeks from the date of passport sent or from the date IRCC received for processing? I booked my mom's flight ticket for 25th and still haven't received the passport.

I sent it on July 5 and IRCC New Delhi received it on June 9 for processing. Wondering if it will stretch to 30th?
