what will be the next steps ? - are they gonna send file to delhi ? are we getting some form to fill up again ?
ebsite
Your parents will have to submit their PR application to New Delhi. The forms can be downloaded from the CICwebsite or you should be receiving them in the mail.
its been month already.... how long we should wait for kit? status is same nothing change on website ....
By now, you would have realised that parental sponsorship delays are getting worse. You have to be proactive about these things if you want to make your life easier. For example, you will have a pretty good idea when your sponsorship will be approved, based on the timelines posted on the CIC website. You should start preparing 2-3 months in advance by downloading the next stage forms from the CIC website and asking you parents to fill them and keep them ready along with the documents needed. For example, police clearance may take 2-3 months.
You are still waiting to get the forms in mail and waiting to see status change on website, when these things do not really matter, once you have received the approval
and can download the forms and begin the process.
Does any one aware of timeline from India.
My parents File is in india since June 2009. Almost 2 Years.
Please let me know if someone has similer timeline ?
Thanks

Why is the timeline for Europe so little but rest of world so high??
Why not Equalization in IMMIGRATION but govt wants it in taxes and EI ??

Do we not have equal rights or are we here to pay taxes to subsidize health care, baby boomers and EI (for those living in PEI, Yukon etc)
When most long time Canadians' relatives came they could not sponsor their parents, many never ever got to return home and see their parents. When they came they did not get socialized health care either and worked hard to create those systems. Baby boomers have paid Canadian taxes their entire lives and their taxes were immediately spent by the government instead of being saved to use for CPP etc right now. Unless you immigrated around age 20 when most baby boomers started their careers you have not paid more taxes than they have.
Most of those sponsored through family reuinification from western Europe are 1-2 generation immigrants there as well. They are frequently people who immigrated there, and their children chose to immigrate to Canada. Many Canadian baby boomers have parents here because those parents immigrated themselves or their parents did and they suffered from being away from their own parents who never came here. Many baby boomers grew up without grandparents here, it is not something unique to new immigrants who have a higher family reuinification rate.
It would be nice for everyone to be with their loved ones, mine are far away in an economically depressed part of Canada and I cannot afford for them to come here to live with me. But as nice as it would be there is a cost to older immigrants who will be eligible for health care during the time of life that requires the most medical intervention. Politicians have an obligation to consider the financial implications as well as the emotional needs and wants of citizens.

CIC Mississauga Case Processing Centre has not made any progress in processing parental sponsorship applications since Feburary 23, 2011. CBC News reported that a management decision has been made to stop all new and returned parental sponsorships.
Current processing time (for in Canada portion alone) is 44 months.
I don't think I can afford this. I came here to settle down permanently. Now I have started thinking about leaving as soon as I get my citizenship (anytime these days) and unite with my parents..

see this Excerpt:
Liberal Leader Bob Rae demanded answers about Canada's family reunification visa policy in question period Thursday, after a government fax was sent to a Liberal MP's office suggesting a freeze on parental sponsorships.
The fax, a copy of which was obtained by CBC News, was sent to Markham MP John McCallum from the Mississauga case processing centre of Citizenship and Immigration Canada, and appears to be in response to an application by an immigrant to sponsor a parent to come to Canada.
The fax states: "As we are not currently processing any parental sponsorships at this time (new or returned cases), this case will be finalized once we get the go-ahead from management to start working on parental sponsorships again."
Late Thursday, a senior government source told CBC News that the Department of Citizenship and Immigration is still processing family reunification visa applications. The source said the fax was sent in error and that the processing of family reunification visas has not been frozen.
According to immigration legal expert Lorne Waldman, the fax that McCallum's office received is a clear result of the department's decision to drastically reduce the number of parental reunification visas this year, a story CBC News broke in February.
Documents obtained by CBC News showed that the government had decided to issue about 11,000 family reunification visas for parents and grandparents overseas in 2011, down from more than 16,000 last year — a drop of more than 30 per cent. The documents also showed that the target for federal skilled-worker visas would drop by 20 per cent this year from 2010.
"So this is the inevitable consequence of a reduction of the quota if the inventory is just too high," Waldman said. "They've simply decided that, because the quota has gone down significantly for this year and because inventory is growing, we are not accepting any more applications right now to send overseas."
Waldman added he recalls a similar freeze happening once before, under a previous Liberal government. That freeze lasted over a year, he said.
No lowering of targets: Tories
In February, Immigration Minister Jason Kenney denied the department has lowered its internal targets for family reunification visas for 2011.
Today, his parliamentary secretary, Rick Dykstra, stuck to that point in question period.
"We've actually increased numbers for family reunification this year," he told the House of Commons. "We've increased it for the past number of years... When it comes to family reunification, it is this government, this party, that is on the right track."
Rae said that instead of telling Canadians the numbers are going up, they should level with those who are trying to bring loved ones over.
"If the government, Mr. Speaker, is not processing sponsorships for parents coming in from other countries, why don't they have the human decency to tell Canadians and to tell applicants that that's exactly what they're doing instead of this subterfuge they're putting forward?"
Currently, the backlog of approximately 140,000 family reunification visas means people could wait up to 14 years if they were to apply today to bring a parent over.
