parents sponsership joine here

[Peter Rabbit]

Forgive my ignorance, but if mom is here on a visitor’s visa and her PR is approved, will she be able to submit her passport in Canada or she will have to mail it to her country of origin ( I am really scared to mail her passport, for obvious reasons)?
Anyone in a similar situation?

But now since Buffalo shut down, its back to CPP-O

Not correct. For sponsored applicants in Canada and US, currently Seattle rather than the CPP-O is the LVO. The CPP-O is simply a processing centre for those LVOs. Your application(Passport stamping) will be eventually sent to and finalized by either Seattle (for Canada and US) or the LVO responsible for your home country.

My timeline has been posted: Sponsor: 2008.05, Additional Doc submittedec 2011, Sponsor DM: Jan 2012, ME requested and done: 2012.02, PPR:2012.July. PR DM: Aug 2012

I see, but this is not common occurrence for most applicants. I actually haven't heard of 1 year extensions before yours ( but seen it after Super-visa ). BTW, did you request 1 year extensions in the form ( like specify dates ) , I see your point about being financially sound but you still have to give a reason, lets say someone is a millionaire and can afford health, stay etc for their parents - the can request 1 year and keep on asking for it

My question is, my brother applied for my mother's pr sometime ago.
She submitted additional docs in and medical in dec 2011 to Islamabad office in pakistan...

No replies till now...
ECAS says medical received in dec 2011
Is it normal for such long delay after medical?

Yes it is quite normal.People have a request for passport along with the medicals to all the way to no request at all and medical gets expired.Totally vary from case to case and on Visa officer.

Yes, I usually requested one year extension and the last one I got is a two years extension from Dec 2011 to Dec 2013. I didn't mean you have to be that rich, but such as the statement of 20,000 saving at TD from the applicant or if the inviter works for a reputable organization like CIC or RCMP will definitely help.

Hi Peter Rabbit-- lots of other members are worried about the same thing. May i ask where is your LVO? as far as i know if you are from India you cannot mail your passport (Govt. considers it illegal) i guess same for Islamabad but if you are from Philippines you can mail or courier.

not really true, I applied for my mom just 3 months extension, but instead got 2 years that was also before supervisa was ever announced last year, the only thing was she had to get medicals exam within 90 days after we got approval.

Thanks for the info, I think your timing of such a request was perfect too, there is another user who got 2 year ext after the intro of Supervisa, and you chose US LVO as your mother got 2 year during that time, that's a perfect scenario to be in
Keep us updated
thanx

Interesting, this is something which must have been implemented recently as I have got 6 extensions so far ( in total ) between 2 visits and all were before 2008. It was always 6 months and been following immigration forums and it was always general consensus that visas are always in increments of 6 months
OR
This whole thing could be case by case basis

Good to know these things

P.S What LVO did you pick? since you could have picked US - like user: parentsponsor

My mom has 10yrs US visa, but we selected India as LVO as she had to be in Canada at least 1yr before she could select that.
Btw, she got extention about 2 months before their was even info about Supervisa. At border Canada during that time, CBSA were very confused to see 2 yrs extension as none of the agents ever heard of such thing, we also thought they made mistake as their was no such thing as 2 yrs.

Which is why it led to me say that this is very new thing, perhaps CIC were trying to implement the supervisa 2 yrs from a long time and were ok to extend that to regular visa holders. I even read a case where they got supervisa in India, but CBSA stamped 6 months and she was told to extend and then it will give 2 years

Looks like everyone did get the memo

want to know weird thing, my mom as expected went back after 3 months & when she came back at the airport CBSA agent give her 2 yr stamp. She never applied for super visa & the 2 yr extension she got was only good as long as she remains in Canada, not valid on re-entry.
