Parents & Grandparents Program(PGP) 2022

[jonesmerchant]

I submitted application for both parents Nov 2022. No AOR received yet. File was moved to Vancouver office. We messaged using the portal and got a reply saying:

"We verified the information you provided and can confirm that your application is still in process.
The responsible office will review the documents that have been received and you will be contacted if further information is required."

When I check the application status online using the online tool, the status doesn't show. It says "We were not able to identify you using the information you provided" is there any other way to check the status online other than the online tool?

Its been more than 24 months. Anyone on the same boat?

Same here. Applied in Nov 2022 for both parents. From last 8+ months, whenever i call, they say they are doing background check.

I think my parents' case is similar as your dad's. The latest update from the GCkey acct stopped in late Sept 2023 and then nothing afterwards. I kept sending webforms in the following months but every time just received the general/standard replies (probably a template email from IRCC). My dad had military background before...

Did you order CBSA and CSIS notes?

No...I did not know about them until last month.
I was planning to renew my dad's visitor visa a few month ago instead, but then my friends told me that even visitor visa application could also get into background check processs. That means another long waiting time...I am not sure if this is true or not.
