Re: Parental Sponsorship 2014
Hi
1. The above statement is for in Canada spousal applications which are sent to Vegreville. There are no "in Canada" parental applications.
2. Since the applications for P/GP go to the bottom of the pile of the P/PGs applications that already being processed. (Mississauga is working on applications submitted May/2010) then there is the overseas processing. I doubt that any of the new applications will go into processing at the O/S office for 3/4 years. So it is unlikely that any P/GPs will be still in Canada as visitors. So I would think twice before selecting CPP-Ott as the processing office.

I Just followed the direction given in the Official Guide below
Guide 5772 - Application to Sponsor Parents and Grandparents
Where have you heard the applications are going to the "bottom of the pile"?
If this were the case Why did the program even get reopened this year, when they could of continued to reduce the backlog.
A quick look at other program application processing times e.g. Fed Skilled Worker - Shows 3 different processing times based on calendar periods over which the application were received and under what rules they were processed to, as to what was in effect at that time.
It will be interesting to see, in the coming months, publication on the CIC website as to the processing times. I suspect the new 5000 applications will be processed concurrently while the backlog is further reduced, 'under the new rules'.
I may be wrong and I do accept that, but logically this makes the most sense, to me at least!

Re: Parental Sponsorship 2014
I read it will take 2 to 2 1/2 years for the new PRs to start coming through. Why would the CIC open the new sponsorship up if it would take so long? Saying that we applied for the Super Visa almost 5 months ago...meds 2 months ago...and we still haven't heard anything.
Too many voters in Tory ridings making a fuss about the freeze.
I'm afraid PMM is right (as usual).
Just my humble opinion.

Re: Parental Sponsorship 2014
Hi
From the CIC Notices http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/departm...2013-12-31.asp
Please note that PGP applications received before the November 5, 2011 pause and currently in the queue will be processed before any new applications (received on or after Jan. 2, 2014) are considered.
A proposal to reduce the age of dependents from under 22 to under 19 was pre-published in the Canada Gazette Part I on May 18, 2013, along with the proposed regulatory changes to the PGP program. The proposal to change the age of dependent children will not be coming into force at the time the PGP program re-opens on January 2, 2014.

Re: Parental Sponsorship 2014
Hi
If the application makes it into the cap, then Sydney takes the payment fairly quickly, although the credit card must be valid for 9 months from the date of the application.
Thanks for the link. I am surprised as to why cic, would reopen the program this year with this being the case! If we are looking at multiple years to clear the backlog many new applicants info will be out of date. I also wonder about the submitted payment info in the new applications if such a lengthy delay is the case.

Re: Parental Sponsorship 2014
I saw on Canadavisa forum that at least 4 people have noticed that their Credit cards have been charged. Their application reached from Jan 2 to Jan 6. Anyone here can confirm whether their cards been charged yet?

Re: Parental Sponsorship 2014
Hi there,
I have a question about the grandparents supervisa. Does your child who has PR status in Canada have to have a minimum income for you to apply for a supervisa? I have been reading through the information on CIC website and I thought this was only for Family Class Sponsorship for permanent residency.
Thanks

"You must also prove that your child or grandchild in Canada meets a minimum income threshold"
The required income info info is here -http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5256ETOC.asp#incometables The amount required will depend on the number of people in your child's family, plus you.
HTH.
