Hi guys,

I have a quick question to ask. If any of you could answer it I’d greatly appreciate it.

I applied for PR for my wife through spousal sponsorship and she got AOR, medicals and biometrics done. The application is in progress.

Now I am planning to apply for a Super Visa for my mother. She’s widowed.

Can I include the total members in family as 2 (mother and me) or 3 (mother, me and wife)?
Do I still need to count my spouse in for Super Visa application since she isn’t in Canada?

I have to mention the current family members in my Mom’s Super Visa application in order to meet the family income requirements.

Please respond.

Thanks in advance.

Hi All,

When you receive the final letter requesting a passport, what is the deadline they give to the parents (in the immigrant visa posted in the passport) to enter Canada and finally become a PR?

Thank you!

Do you mean the length of validity of the PR visa? Most likely it is the same as the expiry date of the medical exam, which in your case should be Aug 2024.

My quoted 30 days is for the passport to be submitted for visa stamping and the validity of the visa issued is valid before the medical expire which for me is 3 months

Hi guys,

I received PCC and Travel history for year 2022-23 request for my parents. They have been in Canada for about 4 years now on visitor's visa..i kept extending it and sometimes they flew to US and came back.

Want to understand couple of things:
1. What should i provide for travel history request which they asked only for 2022-23. Should i provide them with Passport pages with stamp or something else?
2. PCC will be done through BLS application which states it could take upto 8 weeks to process. The letter from IRCC states i need to submit the documents in next 7 days. How do i do that?

Thanks, any help appreciated !

1. You just need to fill up the travel information form, I think it's the IMM5562E one.
2. You can ask for an extension to the deadline, and include proof that you have applied for the PCC if available

Hi,
I applied PR for my parents and a dependent (brother) in Nov 2021. First medicals for 3 of them done in May 2023.
Now they asked for re medicals yesterday only for my parents.
Why did my brother didnot get the second medicals request? Does it mean he is not going to get PR?
I am worried as he is a dependent child for my parents.

Hi Guys

There is an update on online portal, the status changed from submitted to "Application updated" and then when I go in, the message is "We are processing your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you"

and I don't see any update now under "Review of medical results". It's just blank.

Earlier it use to say "Medical results received on May 8. 2023."


How do I interpret this statement, anyone had similar situation?
Should I expect medical test again?

I recently updated the address of my parents as they arrived on Visit Visa on Feb 1. 2024.




Thanks
Raj

It's possible that they extended the previous medicals for him for an additional year if they believed that he is low risk due to his young age. You can call IRCC to confirm.

Is your brother already in Canada?
