Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2018

[Hellomontreal]

I got an email from the Mississauga CPC confirming my application has been accepted. The email also came with information about using a representative and requested IMM 5476 which I didn't include in the application package.

I'm going to send IMM 5476 to them but wondering which CPC I should send it to. My application package was sent to the Ottawa address on the CIC website but it seems now the Mississauga CPC is taking care of the application.

Should I still send IMM 5476 to the Ottawa CPC and it will forward the form to the Mississauga CPC?

Would sending IMM 5476 directly to the Mississauga CPC cause confusion to the process?

Thanks.

Hello Guys,

I have this question..please help me answering this i will be really grateful if you could do this?

I meet the requirements for a minimum income for 2018,2017 but for 2016 i am only 2000 dollars short. Is there any lawyer or probably an accountant who can help me to show an increased income. I am willing to pay extra tax on that plus adjustment against the child benefit for that year. So the question is: 1. Is what i asked above is possible? 2. If it is possible, is it even legal or ethical to do so provided i bear all financial consequences of paying extra tax for the sake of showing increased income?

Nobody knows what the income requirements will be but if you are short any amount for the income requirements you will be refused.

Thanks, but Form 5476 requires my parents' signatures. Can I just take a photo of the form and upload it with WebForm?

Wish if people can read the question in full before responding....the email you have received is a generic AOR template and 5476 has to be submitted only in case you want to use a representative. I got the same email but never sent 5476 since I don't need a representative.

Hope this helps.

Remember what combination you have tried. Write those down if you need to.
Do not try the same combination more than once!

Hello guys, can anyone help me with this. I’m new here. I submitted permanent residence application for my parents. I received email to submit separate and new Schedule A /Background Declaration form (IMM5669) bearing original signature after receiving pre-arrival service email and medical request. In response I filled and submitted Schedule A/Background Declaration form (eimm5669) instead of IMM5669 form. I’m not sure if it makes a big different. I submitted the eimm5669 form bearing original signature with the initial application too. The request stated IMM5669 and I still used the eimm5669 form mistakenly. Can anyone advice me what to do? Should I fill the IMM5669 form and submit again? Thanks

I had trouble linking initially. I tried when I got a temp file number. I tried again when we got the AOR letter (I believe on Dec 18). Both times it failed to link the application. I stop trying during the holidays.
When I tried today and I was able to find the application and link to mycic!
I used application number and applicant's family name (not sponsor's)

Hey guys, does anyone have any idea when background checks start? I was under the assumption that they start when they receive our application (May 2018 in our case) but now I have somebody telling me that BGC start once the pre arrival letter is sent (November 2018 for us). Most people that are applying from my country are completing their applications around 1 year of when their application was accepted, but most of them are spousal while we are PGP.

Anyways, I just wanted to have an idea of when the BGC will be complete whether around May or next year this time, I know their is no definite time but just a rough estimate. So when did my BGC start, at what step?

Edit: ECAS currently has our PR application status as "In Progress" with the last update that they received our medical tests.

In most cases BC starts after you pass eligibility. That is after you receive pre-arrival services as it is an indication of eligibility passed. As to how

BGC normally starts after eligibility is passed. That is, after receiving pre-arrival services as this is an indication of eligibility passed. But sometimes, Pre-arrival might not be sent or sent late while BGC is already in process. As to how long BGC takes depends on the visa office, applicant background and the length of the verification process. I have seen applicants whose BGC starts and within 48 hours they see decision made on ECAS. For others it takes days or weeks or even months. Check the spreadsheet for your visa office.
