The Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP) gives Canadian citizens and permanent residents the opportunity to sponsor eligible parents and grandparents for permanent residence. Because intake is limited and interest is high, planning ahead is essential.
In some cases, families may also consider long-term temporary options such as the Super Visa while waiting for PR opportunities.
Key considerations for parental sponsorship
- Meeting minimum income requirements over required tax years.
- Understanding invitations to apply issued after submitting an interest form.
- Preparing detailed forms and support documentation for dependent family members.
