Hi, Is anything stopping us from getting PCC ahead of the request from CIC? I understand it has a validity but if we are willing to take the risk of doing it ahead of request from CIC based on the estimate from tracker, can we do it in Toronto? Does BLS require any letter from CIC to do it?

Actually my parents are very old and they are with me here in Toronto , they will be flying back to home country by year end. Based on tracker I estimate PCC by Jan/Feb time frame. I want to do the PCC here for them and avoid the hassle of them taking this task in home country by their own in an old age.

Can I do it or am I missing something?

you can definitely do it ahead of time, plenty of people have. I have applied for my grandparent's PCC because i know it will take a few months to complete. Hopefully by the time i receive it, I will be receiving PCC request. If not, i plan on submitting early like others on this forum.

did you get DM?

Not yet. Eagerly waiting.
My additional documents request had a last date of Nov 14th for submission. I submitted by email on Oct 22nd and no update so far.

I am thinking if I don't see anything by end of day today/ Tuesday morning (since I don't think agents will be working over long weekend) I will upload documents through MyCIC account too. Just to be on safe side, if they ignored the previous email by any chance.

I would suggest you to get it in advance, especially if you have to deal through BLS. If you submit application directly at consulate, you will get PCC in a day or so. If you submit it through BLS it can take anywhere from 1 week to 3 weeks, if they do everything correct.

Pre arrival letter received - Nov 08 2019
Visa Office - New Delhi

WHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS PRE ARRIVAL LETTER?

 

[trivchintan]

Yes. U r right. As per agent, they sent document request via myCIC and which I never received. He told me that if u need the letter contact technical team but u can upload requested document via webform cause u don't need letter now as I told u what is requested.
I don't know if they fixed it later or what. I did get AOR from my LVO after sponsorship approval email from CPC-M

Ideally as per the agent

sponsor can not link the application to mycic only PA can.

So correspondence to the sponsor should only be via email.

lately a lot of people are having issues.

I have a question. Hoping that you guys can help me here... ):

on My Ecas, looks like the immigration office has already sent the letter for the biometrics request on Oct 17th and the medical check up request on Oct 25th. However, my parents or I have not received a letter for us to complete the request. Is it normal to wait for this long? I am afraid that my parents can’t meet the 30 days deadline ...

Much appreciated if you guys could give me some ideas ... thank you so much!

It is better to call CIC, they will ask you to open a ticket via webform and also ask for extension.

This is really frustrating, a lot of people lately are having issues.

Anyone who is currently in Canada, on visitor visa or super visa are considered Temporary resident.

But if i remember correctly there was never a question of temporary residential status.

So what i filled my parents address was home country, though they were here.

And eventually missed lucky mississauga office.

I submitted my docs via email and mycic both. May be better to do that a week prior to last date.
