I am in the same boat as well, getting same message for quite some time...I am not sure if they are simply sitting on all the files and then release bunch of them together or waiting for some kind of approval from ministry...where they are still undecided...what a sucker!

In-Canada Application Processing Times:
Processing Times: Family Sponsorship -> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm-fc.asp
Application processing times -> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/canada/process-in.asp#sponsorship
Various Timelines -> http://www.trackitt.com/canada-immigration-trackers/family-class/

Are there any members in the family sponsorship class (for parents) in the same or thereabout timeline and can share updates on the timelines?

Also, request fellow members to please update with their parents sponsorship timelines. Thanks.

Trinity

P.S.: As this thread is long and many folks are in similar timelines, I am adding the processing dates and will update it every week or so as this will give an idea of the approximate Canada processing times to applicants. We do not have such a specific update for CHC, New Delhi.

The CIC checklist #10 asks to provide self addressed mailing labels, one in English and one in official language of country of residence... Did you guys provide your address in Canada or the address of your parents in India ? Also, in which language did you write the address ?
Does the mailing label have to be like stickers or just a piece of paper with address printed on it?

Hi,

I had submitted the requested documents for parents' sponsorship and now CIC has returned the application, asking for the proof of relationship to the sponsor (#7 on the list).

I had provided the following (as I don't have DOB certificate):

- My 10th class certificate
- My Degree certificate


I don't have indian passport and Canadian passport doesn't have Father's name. My PIO card has it, should I send the copy of that ?

Also, if I have to make an affidavit in GTA for birth certificate, where can I get it done ? or should I ask my parents to get one in India and send me here ?

Thanks for your help.

You can get Birth Certificate from Indian Consulate, they require passport but PIO might work

Affadavit from India would be best

Hi,

I have just paid the Right of Permanent Fee for my parents, and just noticed that the receipt that I have to send them has a Client ID field. Do I need to fill in my own information in the Name/Clientid/Address or My Dad's, who is a principal applicant? How to find his client id?

Thanks,
