Today, January 11, 2020, Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) announced that the details of the 2020 Parents & Grandparents (PGP) sponsorship program will be released by April 1st at the latest.
IRCC is currently developing a new application intake management process that will be implemented in 2020. Furthermore, the announcement stated that until the new intake management process is implemented, the department will not accept any new applications. This is to make sure that all interested sponsors have the same opportunity to submit an interest to sponsor form, and a fair chance to be invited to apply.
The number of people immigrating to Canada who are sponsored by family members is increasing every year and more than one in five are parents or grandparents. This years IRCC will admit nearly 21,000 parents or grandparents.
If you are keen to sponsor either your parent or grandparent make sure you have all pertinent documents ready before April 1st. After you receive an invitation to apply you have 60 days to submit the application along with all the accompanying documentation.
