Parents & Grandparents Program (PGP) 2023

Thanks for the reply. My mother (applicant) did receive a Biometrics request letter yesterday so I guess I can proceed with that. I have another question on that aspect - she is coming to Canada on visit visa this weekend. I am thinking to get her biometrics within Canada once she arrives. I hope that should not be an issue.

Some one in the group may have experience with doing biometric in Canada.

Absolutely no issues, my mom did same thing. She got biometric request letter two weeks before she was scheduled to arrive in Canada and I waited for to get here to have it completed. On completion, the biometrics was updated on GCKey same day.

Hi everyone,

My parents already has Immigration visa approved 2 days ago. Today they got Visitor visa passport requested. Does visitor visa breach/effect to immigration visa? They just dont want to ignore any documents requiring from government. Thats reason why they want to send out passport for TRV visa.

Thank you.

I'm assuming you're in Yukon.. in Manitoba, you have to get an appointment for biometrics, so just make sure that if you need an appointment as well, that you're able to get an appointment within the time frame that they have provided in the biometrics letter
