We always had the Indian address listed in ECAS

it sounds a bit confusing that they started processing your application and made decision on it at the same time. how sure you are about medical results?
 
gdhami said:
Medcial results should be fine. the doctor did not say anything and there were no repeat tests.

that is a good sign. when was your application transferred to the lvo?
 
Received the gcms notes today medical has been passed for all member, eligibility is in process , criminality and security check has not started yet


in eligibility they said the review required : we got the email stating my bro is not dependent . well we have sent the reply with all the details of fulltime study . the officer has marked the due date as September 16 for application assignment . so I guess he or she will look in to the file on sep 16 hopefully and take the decision on it.


sonu do you have application assignment date for you ?

thanks

Parents Sponsorship with Dependents

Hello,

Just joined the forum and looking for some advice.
First, the application details:
  • Application Type: Sponsorship (Parents w/ One dependent only)
  • Application Date: 2009-12-30
  • Acknowledgement Letter: 2010-01-18
  • CPC Mississauga Letter: 2013-08-02

My family:
Father
Mother
Me :)
Sister A (now married)
Sister B (student of Medicine)
Sister C (pursuing an MBA and the dependent in application)

Now that I have to send documents within 90 days (2013-11-02), I am wondering a few things:
> Status of Sister C
- She turned 22 in June 2013 and completed her undergraduate degree in June 2013 but has enrolled in MBA for October 2013.
- Is there a possibility that the short break (July-September) will be seen as a 'break' from full-time studies?

> Add Sister B to my application:
- I applied for my parents and my youngest sister (Sister C) only, as in 2009, my income would only be eligible for a family of 4 even though all my sisters were dependent on my parents. In addition, I anticipated that these applications take a long time and I wasn't sure what would be the status of my sisters. Indeed, one of my sisters (Sister A) got married and is no longer a dependent.
- My income is above the 2013-LICO for 5 family member (49, 102) but it is below the new regulations that will come in to effect January 2014 (2013-LICO + 30% = 63,833)
- Both Sisters B and C are now above 22 years old but both of them have been dependent on my parents/me as they are full time students.
- Is there any chance Sister B can be included in the application? I think from a government point of view, it is a win-win situation that they would allow two non-economic persons but offsetting them are two highly educated dependents almost ready to enter workforce (and thus pay taxes). But from legal/CIC perspective, my 2009 income is not eligible for 5 dependents neither would be the current income as per "future" rules.

> If CIC feels Sister C is not dependent, will they refuse the entire application (my parents') as well?

Thanks for reading the *entire* post if you made to the end! Appreciate any ideas, suggestions!
 
Re: Parents Sponsorship with Dependents

Sister C will be a dependent even if she stops studying, because she was below 22 at the time you submitted the sponsorship application. But she has to stay single till she lands in Canada. And I don't think you can add sister B to your application at this point, but you can double check on that.

Sister C is OK, but her refusal will not hurt parents
I don't think you can add sister B now - 99& sure - however, they don't see the way you see it - if anything, they are pretty hard on dependants and would typically encourage to apply independently
BTW, everyone has go for meds regardless of them coming or not and here is the only risk if 1 is inadmissible then the entire app is refused
