Hi there may I ask the reason why you were ineligible to sponsor in Dec 11 and became eligible in Dec 9? Thank you

CIC made mistake assessing income for sponorship and sent ineligibility letter and then reassessed it and sent eligibility letter on Dec 27.

I find the application faster than expected. I sponsor my parents the process has been pretty smooth. There were issue with my parents resume and the history form , both time I emailed back and were processed quickly. Also had the issue to register my parents online to track process, thank you this forum I sorted it out (need to include sponsor in the applicant count!) so long story short , submitted Jun 14 2024, approved May 30 2025. What a long process. I regretted not submitting the application when I was drawn in 2018, tried the draw again in 2020 and viola took five more years. But finally made it. Good luck to you all and thank the existence of this forum and the sharing here 100x

Submitting Passports for Parents Visa in Different Countries:​

Hello, I am wondering if anyone has been in this sitaution. How do we submit passports for parents for their visa's if their application was filled together, but now they are in different countries. The Information letter has only the name of the principal applicant ont the top but it does states that we need to submit the dependent information as well. Should we include a letter of explanation stating why each parent is submitting their passport individually and from different countries?
Thank you everyone for your input.

Yes people should be very happy that their applications are being processed much faster than expected. I don’t think people realize that a year is very fast for PGP.

Depends on what countries? Are either of them in Canada and who is the primary applicant?
