You are probably right, though it is quite hard for a retired person to remember all this stuff since age 18. lol Oh well. Thanks.
I may be over thinking this, but I have a few more questions:
1) Is there a Document checklist for the "applicant" or "principal applicant"?
i would say for whole package
2) Are there "country specific requirements" for parents/grandparents sponsorship? I can't find anything.
no idea ???
3) should my parents get their medicals done upfront or wait for a request? There is nothing in the guide [IMM 5772].
you need to wait request, first stage to get SA for you
4) Should my parents get their criminal record checks done upfront or wait for a request? Again, nothing in the guide [IMM 5772].
my parents did it after 4 mon I got SA so when CIC asked IMM/PCC our PCC was ready
because it takes more than 30 days in my back home.
I suspect for 3) and 4), it probably does not make no sense to do them now if processing times are quite long. But it just seems different so I am second guessing.
Thanks.
