Guys passports are wity NDVO since march 17 not sure why not returned yet


Is there anyone in the same situation

FYI Pre CIVOD (in Jan), my parents passports took 10 calendar days for processing at NDVO. You will need to cut them some slack during COVID time...

Bio : same day or next day.
Medical: depend on when clinic submit to CIC and if any additional text required or not. if not any additional test required it will update 3-5 day after clinic submit to CIC.

during lockdown it will take more time to update. New Delhi VO status.

Thanks for the reply. I did see on CIC, with bio-metric number so that means they have received it right? I haven't received any additional tests or so from Doctor.

I think I need more people and then hire a lawyer who will write a collective letter on behalf of us all

PGP is essentially the least prioritized immigration program. If there was anything that would be prioritized is economic immigrants and spousal reunification. On top of that the last thing Canada wants is more elderly people arriving who could come with covid 19 and add to the strain on our hospital system. Wouldn’t waste your money on a lawyer. You can send a letter but it isn’t a priority. PGP 2020 info has been delayed because of bigger priorities so expect a similar response.

Is CPC-Mississauga processing parents application at present or its on hold?
Any guess?

 

[mintmint]

it is taxable benefit as latest update dated March 29th 2020.

"
Support for people facing unemployment
The new Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB)
We will provide a taxable benefit of $2,000 a month for up to 4 months to:

• workers who must stop working due to COVID19 and do not have access to paid leave or other income support.
• workers who are sick, quarantined, or taking care of someone who is sick with COVID-19.
• working parents who must stay home without pay to care for children that are sick or need additional care because of school and daycare closures.
• workers who still have their employment but are not being paid because there is currently not sufficient work and their employer has asked them not to come to work.
• wage earners and self-employed individuals, including contract workers, who would not otherwise be eligible for Employment Insurance.

* This benefit replaces the previously announced Emergency Care Benefit and the Emergency Support Benefit.

@robertp you think that this taxable income will be counted as my income in line 150 to sponsor for year 2020? Thanks

I think all PGP is on hold (not being processed at all) right now, no update in the track for almost 2 weeks.

SPECIAL FLIGHTS AVAILABLE FROM INDIA TO CANADA (March 31, 2020)

Thank you, Robert, for posting this information.
That's a good move by the government, but it's insane to charge Canadians who are stuck in India a minimum of $2900 one-way from Delhi to Toronto.

The flights are still likely subsidized by the Canadian tax payer even at that price. These flights are flying empty in one direction so the prices will be higher. If people travelled during a pandemic or didn’t make arrangements to travel home when they saw what was happening in Wuhan then they assumed the risk. Canada is nice enough to provide travel loans if people can’t afford the cost. You also have the option of remaining in India. These are emergency repatriation flights not a seat sale from a budget airline.

It doesn’t seem like parents that don’t have PR cards yet will qualify for these repatriation flights.
