Dial the CIC number and the below options once the initial high volume message is over...might take you some time to get in the queue...once you are in the call queue...do not drop off...and someone would help you look at your file. Just spoke to a CIC rep now...mine is still not approved and is under review...I am from Puralator 9.43 batch...

CIC Phone#: 1-888-242-2100 (Options: 2,1,3,0)

Hi,

I got the sponsorship approval in mail. The file has been transferred to LVO New Delhi. I think the next steps will be a request for medical and PCC. My mother is with me here in Canada and she is the only applicant in my file. I think I can get a PCC from the CGI Vancouver. I was wondering how long is the validity of the PCC? Can I apply for PCC now even before I have not received any request for it since the processing takes 4-6 weeks?


Hey buddy , i am in same boat like you . Sponsorship approved , did the status change in your cic account? is it in process yet ? thanks

Status changed to "in-process" today.
Sponsor Eligibility approval received on June 23th.
File was transfered to Tel-Aviv.

Fingers crossed

I have another question. My SA has been done and file has been transferred to NDVO. But I got married this year after sending the application so I called CIC to update the marital status. They asked me to send a FAX to CPC-M as well as to NDVO which is OK. But I am worried about is that since now I have one more dependent will my file be re-evaluated for financial evaluation? Although my income is good enough to support three people but I wonder if they will send my file back to CPC-M or just at NDVO itself they can see that I still meet the sponsorship criteria and keep on working on the file as usual.

Sorry guys.. one more question.. this is regarding PCC.. My mother is here in Canada and I have to get a PCC for her.. is it possible that I get the PCC from India (this can be done in absentia.. i confirmed) ... I know I can obtain PCC from CGI Vancouver but they will take her passport and god knows how long they will take to process and my mother has to travel to USA soon... Will CIC accept the PCC from India even though my mother is in Canada/USA.

For those who have received requests for medical exam and PCC, after received the requests, did CIC show the requests online such as saying "we've sent you the requests and we are waiting for your reply within certain period of time." I am afraid of mail lost. I requested change of mailing address by eform but no updates online after five business days.

Hi guys, I just received the Sponsor Approval letter today July 4th. My application was received January 4, 2016.

I was wondering when will I receive the medical exam request and PCC request? My parents are currently in Canada. Can they do the medical exams here? Also, what is "PCC"? I've seen this term many times in this forum.

I am going to giving birth to my 4th child in couple of weeks. How can I change the status (birth of a child)?

Lastly, anyone has idea approximately how long will it take for parents to receive PR status once we received the sponsorship approval & transfer?

Thank you so much for your help!

Your file would be re-evaluated for financial evaluation at NDVO and wont be sent back to CPC-M. NDVO will be checking and will do the needful.

Not sure about India...but rule at Indian Embassy in Canada (Toronto) is ...once you apply for PCC at Indian Embassy, they keep your passport...and you can give a written application (providing valid justification/reason) and take back your passport...but while your PCC is in process...you cannot leave Canada during that time (even if you get your passport back from the embassy by giving a written request)...also when the PCC is issues...they stamp your passport...so you have to submit your passport during issuance of PCC.

Yes, they can do medical exam here in Canada from a CIC approved/registered doctor.
PCC stands for Police Clearance Certificate.
You have to email CIC with your newborn's details like Birth Certificate...they will let you know if they need any further infrmation.
Probably within a year from medical request...as medical request is valid for a year...and within that year...from medical request...your parents will generally have to do landing.

Hope this helps.
