Hello Everybody. I applied to sponsor my Parents and submitted the application in December 2022. I got eligibility approval in 2024 and did biometrics and passed medical in 2024. I have not heard anything since receiving the pre-arrival letter late 2024. The medicals have since expired and the delayed process is really frustrating.
I am at a loss at what to do and how to stay motivated with this rather frustratingly snail-pace of processing. There has been no updates on this site https://onlineservices-servicesenligne.cic.gc.ca/mycic/home for years. When I try to check the CAS Client Application Status portal, they don't find any result. Is there a way to get better updates on the application status?
Any advice or insight is highly appreciated. Many thanks

Where are your parents from? Do they have any military, police, higher level gvt, etc experience? Agree you should order GCMS. PGP timelines are extremely variable. Having to redo medicals is fairly common with PGP: That said many would gladly trade spots and be on the path to sponsorship.
Hi. Thanks for the response. My parents are from Kenya, and they have no military, police or any government experience or background. Kindly guide me on how to order GCMS. I am glad to have been selected and given a chance, but the sheer unpredictability of the process is very frustrating, as it leaves people in limbo and in state of uncertainty, but thanks for your input.
Thanks for the detailed response. I will try my luck with ATIP and see where this leads. When you emailed CBSA, they completed the background check faster, right? Hope that leads to successful completion of your application.
Hi Kate, May I ask have your Dad get approval letter or confirmation or Copr.? I m still waiting for final decision . THANKS
Hi Tarun, Were your parents on any kind of govt job in india? I have similar story myself
Hi,
We applied in November 2022, got requested some additional information from IRCC in July 2024 including Medical, PCC, Government Service Information etc. We provided all the requested information and it has been silence ever since then. We called many times to check if IRCC requires any additional documents they say that they have everything they need. Requested GCMS notes say application is at background check from last +/- 2 years. Any one similar?

Yes same story my parents are in Gov job and since i submitted service info its been total silence I tried contacting MP calling IRCC same thing its in background check. I applied in Dec 2022.
We have tried via MP too, they simply confirmed what we knew that file is stuck in comprehensive security reffered to CBSA. I have talked with few people and everyone said it takes around 18-24 months after file is referred. Btw my parents were working in Indian Railways. Getting a bit worried as it is taking very very long time.
