Parents sponsorship - process question

Hello,

I sponsored my parents in July 2009. I received a letter last week indicating that I meet the eligiblity as a sponsor and the file be forwaded now for further processing. Just wanted to know what would be the next step and how much time does it take from now on? My parents live in India.

Thank you for your response.

Next step is your parents will be asked to complete the medical.

Official processing time for this step is 34 months for applications processed through the New Delhi VO.

That means 80% of applications are completed within 34 months.

For parent/grandparent applications finalized in New Delhi between July 1, 2011, and June 30, 2012 (data three months older than Scylla's), the percentiles are as follows:

20% completed within 19 months
30% completed within 21 months
50% completed within 25 months
70% completed within 30 months
80% completed within 32 months

Updated data come out every three months. You can find these data in the spreadsheet here: http://www.data.gc.ca/default.asp?lang=En&n=5175A6F0-1&xsl=datacataloguerecord&metaxsl=datacataloguerecord&formid=427337D0-7C36-4FED-8428-C6A63F8C19B3
