I posted the same question in the 2016 PGO thread.
Application was just transferred to Mexico LVO, and would lie to know timeline from there.
Ok I'll look for the thread. If you have any info I'd appreciate it.
Thank you!

Does the minimum income to sponsor the parent is for one person not including the co-signer's income to add up to meet the amount?

Good news. We were notified on Thursday 16 February that our passports are ready for collection from the VFS office in Kuala Lumpur. We collected it yesterday (17 Feb). We had handed the passports in on 7 february to VFS, KL. So it took 10 days for processing and dispatch in Singapore.

My spouse who is the principal applicant and I plan to land in Pearson in early May. I think we are the last applicant in the 2015 batch that was being processed in Singapore VO to get the PR visa.

Thanks for sharing all the information and a special thanks to Rossei for being very generous with his time and energy.

Regards

Thank you
There should be a date mentioned on issued visa, you are looking for visa validity date.

Congrats SPVG.

May would be the best time to land. You're coming in Spring, followed by Summer and then Fall. I wish both of you have a wonderful life in Canada.

My Parents just get the PR under family sponsorship and wandering what benefit we can apply for them like I can apply for their Health card and License as I sign sponser agreement and don't want to violate any of their rules and it's not clear in agreement we sign for 20 years.
So can you please provide the list of benefit we can apply without violating this agreement.
Thanks.

The list of benefits? There is none for sponsored parents.

One has to be over 65 years old and live in Canada for at least 10 years to be eligible for OAS (Old Age Security) and/or OAS-GIS (Guaranteed Income Supplement). If your parents get pensions from home country and Canada has a treaty for exchanging pension benefits with such country; your parents may apply to get it here. However, since the sponsor is financially responsible for his/her sponsored parents; they may may not be eligible for OAS or OAS-GIS for 20 years.

So I cannot apply for Health card?
Please advise.
