On March 27, 2020, the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) announced that the opening of the 2020 Parent and Grandparent Program (PGP) will be delayed in accepting new applications due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
The launch of the annual PGP program for expressions of interest to apply was expected in the coming weeks. However, IRCC is currently prioritizing its efforts to contribute to the government response to the pandemic. This is a temporary deferral of the launch of the 2020 call for applications and it is not expected to impact when parents and grandparents will arrive in Canada, and that processing of these applications continues.
IRCC stated that it is committed to opening the program as soon as possible and that that government of Canada remains strongly committed to family reunification. Details on the opening of the PGP program will be posted online and shared on social media once they are available.
