Parent and Grandparent Sponsorship (PGP) Program 2020

The Parent and Grandparent Sponsorship (PGP) program is one of Canada’s most prevalent immigration program. Unliked the lottery system in the previous years, this year (2019) the program functioned on a first-come, first-serve basis and reached the maximum program limit of 20,000 applicants in just 8 minutes after going live.

On December 16, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) announced that it will soon announce details of the 2020 PGP sponsorship program. To date IRCC has issued 19,225 sponsored parents with permanent residence status.

The program is available to Canadian citizens and permanent residents who meet all the eligibility conditions. The sponsor must meet minimum income requirements and provide proof that they can financially support their dependents and the applicant(s). Applicants who are being sponsored must also meet immigration requirements.
