Excellent service. They understood the requirements and work effectively till the completion …

The Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP) allows Canadian citizens and permanent residents to sponsor their parents and grandparents for permanent residence in Canada. This program highlights Canada’s commitment to family reunification and contributes to the country’s diverse cultural heritage.

A Unique Immigration Pathway for Parents/Grandparents

Very hard working team, helped me to get wp extension and also helped me in my permanent residency file. ….

Unlike other immigration programs, the PGP provides a special route for family reunification, giving parents and grandparents the chance to live in Canada permanently. Since the PGP operates as an invitation-only program, only a limited number of applications are accepted each year. For example, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) announced its plan to issue 17,860 invitations to potential sponsors, with the goal of approving up to 10,000 complete applications from the 2020 pool of interest to sponsor.

Eligibility Criteria for Sponsors

To sponsor under the PGP, you must:

  • Be a Canadian citizen, permanent resident

  • Be at least 18 years old and living in Canada.

  • Meet the Minimum Necessary Income (MNI) for the last 3 consecutive taxation years (verified through CRA Notices of Assessment).

  • Sign a 20-year undertaking agreement (10 years if residing in Quebec) to provide financial support and ensure the sponsored individuals will not rely on social assistance.

Eligibility Criteria for Sponsored Individuals

Sponsored parents and grandparents must:

Pass security checks and medical examinations to ensure admissibility to Canada.

Steps to Apply for Family Sponsorship

Step 1: Verify that you are eligible to sponsor.

Step 2: Verify that the family members you plan to sponsor are eligible.

Step 3: You must apply to the Ministry of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) at the federal level and to the Ministry of Immigration Francization and Integration (MIFI) at the provincial level if you reside in Quebec. Together with your sponsorship application, you must submit your family members’ or relatives’ applications for permanent residence (PR) status. Your PR application will be examined after it has been determined that you are qualified to sponsor.

Step 4: The application fee for family sponsorship must be paid.

Step 5: Apply to the correct address. The government website offers a sponsorship guide for download, which contains this information.
