Hi Friends,

Me & my wife are PR. Our son was born in India last December. So I applied to sponsor him in July. Please find my timeline below. I have tried various options more than 100 times to link my son's application to my online mycic account. But no luck...:-( Medicals completed and waiting for PPR request from NDVO.

July 17 - Documents Submitted
Aug 17 - Acknowledgement Received from CIC
Aug 31 - Request letter for Medical (Sent by post to Canada Address)
Sep 6 - Got email that my eligibility to Sponsor has been approved
Sep 12 - File transferred to NDVO
Sep 15 - Medicals Done
Sep 17 - Medical Status received in CIC website
Sep 18 - CIC website status 'Started Processing' by (NDVO)

Please tell me how much time it will take from here on. I am unable to link the application to online account. I already raised two Case Specic Enquiries and just got generic response that either I entered details incorrectly or details are not yet uploaded in system or technical issue at their end. Any help is much appreciated... !!! Are the timelines usual? Should I contact NDVO to understand the status? Is there a number to contact them?

Status as per CIC website:

1. We received your application for permanent residence on July 17, 2017.
2. We started processing your application on September 18, 2017.
3. Medical results have been received.

Thanks,
Vignesh.

Hello Vignesh,

You can go through this link for linking your application:-

https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/mycic-link-application-issue.443957/

Well from here, you will most probably have to wait to hear anything from NDVO (unless you relentlessly file for your kids TRV's even after getting rejections )

Hi Gaurav,

From the spousal forum, have an idea that they take roughly between 15 days to a month, but in some cases ,very few, it took 2 months. You should be getting urs maybe in the last week of Nov.

I have applied sponsorship for my twins in August... completed medicals and aor2 received in October..
last week I applied for their TRV online.. approved and passport sent to ndvo by vfs..

That's excellent. Congratulations! Did you apply on your own or used a lawyer?

In addition I was talking to one of the lawyers, the landing formalities can be completed in Canada itself if PR is approved before their TRV expires.

Yes applied on my own.

 

[amitsmeet]

Yes applied on my own.

Congrats Guelphmm !! So a couple of questions here,

1. did you show the return air tickets for your minors?

2. Did you put a cover letter explaining the situation?

3. Do you have any idea for what period will the TRV granted? 6 months/ a year?

 

[flight75]

Yes applied on my own.

So did you apply using two separate applications or added both of them in one application as family members. Another question if you applied using two separate applications, you can apply the second one only after the first application is submitted, is that right?

I can try answering Amit:

1. Return tickets are not mandatory for TRV. I checked with the lawyer.
2. There is an invitation letter(required) from host and letter of explanation(optional). The situation can be explained there. In addition, UCI will be same for PR and TRV for each applicant so anyway they will come to know that PR app is in process.
3. As far as I know TRV stay can only be for 6 months and generally valid for 10 years. However there is a process to get it extended if the person wants to stay continuously after 6 months. Extension needs to be applied at least one month prior to the expiry.
