Details of the PGP Program

PGP allows Canadian PR holders to sponsor their parents or grandparents for a Canadian PR. The Parents and Grandparents program is part of IRCC family reunification initiatives, vital to the IRCC mission. Once they reach Canada, Parents and grandparents will receive a PR.

A crucial step that the sponsor must take is signing an undertaking that they will support their parents and grandparents while they are staying in Canada for the upcoming 20 years. Sponsors who are applying for Quebec will need to sign an undertaking for ten years.

PGP invites applicants on a lottery basis and allows them to apply for an intake once a year.

Eligible candidates for the next PGP round

IRCC announced that, starting May 21st, 2024, it will issue invites to candidates who submitted their PGP application in 2020. Applicants who submitted their applications in 2020 will receive their ITAs in the next round. Under this program, applicants will receive invitations via random lottery. These ITAs will be delivered to the Sponsor via email. Sponsors can check their email from May 21st, 2024, as the invitations will be delivered roughly within two weeks.

Procedure for receiving PR from the PGP Program

To receive a Canada Permanent residency through the PGP program, the applicant must follow the following:

• Eligibility criteria to meet all the requirements of sponsoring, to live in Canada, sign an Undertaking, meet minimum necessary income levels
• To be eligible for the Parents and Grandparents program, applicants must fill out an interest to sponsor form on IRCC’s website. They must also not receive an ITA in 2021, 2022, or 2023.
• After the PGP lottery reopens, go through mail that is provided on the interest to sponsor form of an invitation on the day of reopening and for the next two weeks after the lottery restarts.
• After an ITA has been received, the Sponsor must submit their application via the Permanent Residence Portal or the Representative Residency program.
• After an IRCC receives the application, it aims to complete it within 112 days. From 2022-2023, the department processed 67% of applications to this standard.

The alternative of the PGP Program

The PGP Program has an alternative pathway, such as the Super Visa program. This visa also allows the citizens of Canada and PR holders to sponsor their parents and grandparents to visit Canada on an extended Visitor visa.

Candidates who receive approval through this Super-visa can stay in Canada on an extended visa for five years and extend their stay for two years later. Candidates can also renew their Super Visa once it expires.

Although the program happens once a year, the Super Visa program is available yearly with sponsors who can apply year-round. Super Visa applications share the same standard as PGP, and IRCC aims to complete all the applications within 112 days of receipt.
