Thank you so much Shankar.

I was able to link the application with GCKey by doing some combination of number of applicants. Took me a few tries. Will keep a check on that portal.

Thinking of booking PCC now itself for my Parents in India. Not sure how long it takes to get it from PSK in New Delhi.
I've heard PCC form India gets issued a lot faster than from an Indian Consulate in Canada. All the best.

Hello all!

A quick question - for outbound parents, once PR visa is issued, what is the deadline for them to land here in Canada? All I know is COPR is valid for 1 year, will the expiration date be the same on PR visa in the passport?
Usually the PR visa is valid for 1 year

I CAN NOT SEE ECAS STATUS:
I revived AOR, medical request, biometric, pcc, and sponsorship approval letters. I was able to link with GC key account.

I tried application number and UCI number for both sponsor and principal applicant. 4 different combinations.

Any suggestions?

I dont know this for a fact guys but i think they working in batches this time, so they first worked on applications from Oct and several of them are around or past the PCC/medical exam stages which took ~3months. Now they seem to be working on applications received in November, so you guys might be next.

This is my observation purely based on following the discussions on this forum. Just hang tight and you'll hear soon. Once you do things will move quickly, I think IRCC is doing a better job this time than past years with the speed of processing applications
