Parents & Grandparents Program(PGP) 2024

[canuck78]

I am still waiting for p2. P1 was on May 5, final decision april 25, 2025. submission June 6,2024

It has only been 2 weeks. Many applying for PR through other programs are waiting months between steps. With posted processing time for PGP being close to 3 years getting processing in around a year is very fast and lucky. Getting a spot in PGP is incredibly lucky to begin with. Just be patient you will get P2 and then eCOPR soon.

For virtual landing if parents (applicants/dependents) are already inside Canada. (P1, P2, eCOPR)

I received P1 email today as well.

Couple of questions :
* I got the PDF file for the principal applicant (my father), dependent (my mom) and also for myself (I am the sponsor who's a citizen) - Do I need t respond separately for all three of us?
* Up until now, I've been utilizing my email address for them, can I re-use that or should I create a new email for the applicants? Thank you!

Are your parents in canada or outside? and did you receive P1 individually for every one. I just received one.

@sahiut @kunalkhanna - got my P2 email today!

Many congratulations !!! After about 20 days. I replied to P1 on May 16th, so sometime in June 1st week, i should expect to receive it. Did you get it on the same email id which you provided in P1 or was it in your gckey account?

Yes, I got the reply on same email id from which I replied to P1. My Gckey account is not updating anything.. it still says everything is under processing. Thank you.

I got passport request for my parents on 23rd May 2025. My parents are already in Canada on super visa. The letter says if parents are in Canada then fill out webform within 5 days of the letter received for principle and dependent. I filled it out for my father who is a principle applicant but form did not have any space to update my mother's details. How do I go about updating my mother's current resident status? Do I fill out form about her as well under principle applicant separately? Has anyone gone through same situation?

Hi. My mom just got her COPR this week. She will be travelling alone from India to Canada next week. I want to know a few things:

1. Can she land at any airport (port of entry) or does she have to land at the destination we mentioned in the application? We have mentioned Toronto but she will be landing in Calgary as she will be attending wedding there and then coming to Toronto after a week.

2. Any idea about how the landing/interview process will be for her? Things to keep in mind? Suggestions/Tips?

Thanks a lot for help and suggestions.

Hi, I had some question for my parents PGP application. I received a correspondence after almost 11 months from IRCC requesting the 3 items below:

1. Police Certificate,
2. IMM5546 - Military Record Form
3. IMM5536 - Client Information

Biometric done, medical done. this is the latest request.

Questions:

• I believe this letter is an additional document request letter. Has anyone else previously received similar communication in their case?
• Also - my parents never served in military and nor was there any such mandatory service requirements. How do I fill the form IMM5546 (as letter indicates to show proof of exemption if did not serve).?
• I submitted police certificates last year. Do I re submit that or get new one issued?

Hi Jim, I am in same boat and did not get much help here. So what I did is filled out webform however, selected an options for attaching a file, update on a file something and then selected " we asked for an additional document" then I attached the letter received and LOE with all the details about both my parents and their current address.

That is a cleaver thinking. Did you get any response from them? How many days it has been since you filled out webform?
