An update to the Parents and Grandparents Program has been made public by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Up to 15,000 complete applications for sponsorship under the PGP will be accepted by IRCC this year.
In an effort to obtain up to 15,000 complete applications, the IRCC will start mailing invitations to apply for 24,200 potential sponsors on October 10.
Due to the pending invitations in the pool of 2020 submissions, invitations to apply will be given to a random subset of those sponsors rather than launching a fresh interest to sponsor form.
If you submitted your application in 2020 but did not receive an invitation to apply till the year 2021 or 2022. Then, you are advised to check the email address you provided in the year 2020.
IRCC will continue to use the Permanent Residence Portal, which allows applications to be filed electronically if you are invited to apply as part of the 2023 intake.
