Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2019

[Rhill]

Hii. Is there anyone here who's supposed to do a medical or additional medical at St Lukes Med clinic in Manila? My dad wasn't able to go this April 8th due to lockdown? What's my next move? Whom to contact about this situation? Thanks in advance to those who will answer.

I believe everything has extended to 90 days, not 30. Hopefully would be possible to reschedule to a letter date

They are. Since my parents did medical on Nov 8th and still my CIC shows the status “ we have requested a medical exam....” I sent a webform asking to review the file and provide an update. The response arrived in 4 days stating they cannot provide the info cause cannot locate Use a representative form in the file.

Yes of course you should apply for renewal and wait & watch till July. If you feel travel is not possible even in September then you can ask for extension. Anyway passport renewal is important. Even if travel happen by September, you have to apply for renewal in Canada which is even more expensive.

Can my parents travel with the new passport with the landing VISA in the old passport along with them? If they are able to travel before September? I could nt find any reference on CIC website mentioning this ?

Yes, they can, make sure they have COPR and expired passport with visa with them

Thanks is this mention somewhere on CIC website just because the airline many times are not aware of such policies and they create nuisance. If we can have this in writing somewhere we can show them

Visas never get cancelled with cancellation of passport. You can always travel with new passport and use your visa in old passport.

Make sure that your parents got COPR on or before 18 March 2020 because only those who got PR approval in that period are exempt and can travel to Canada. I would print out the link and ENF 4 - Port of entry examinations manual - below and show it to airline if they ask. Section 13.18 (page 73) says "If a valid visa inside an expired document is presented at the POE (port of entry) along with a valid passport or travel document, the visa is considered valid". Second link is the info for travel exemption.

Visa valid till 4th Oct, now in india currently lockdown whole country and almost no flights to canada or inter state travel ban and I feel it is not safe untill situation under control to travel. The question is if situation not normal till October, then what? can we request to IRCC for more time and extention of immigration visa? or any other suggetions you have please share friends. I'm sure there are others with same situation.
Thank you.
