Canada will start sending out the new round of Invitations to Apply for the Parents and Grandparents Program from Monday September 20.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada is to accept 30,000 new applications for the popular program, with ITAs to be sent out over a two-week period.
IRCC is randomly selecting from those who submitted interest to sponsor forms in fall 2020.
Candidates who receive ITAs have 60 days to submit a full application. The deadline will be marked clearly on the ITA. ITAs will be sent out using the email included on the interest to sponsor form.
Immigration pathway for parents and grandparents
The Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP) allows Canadians to sponsor their parents and grandparents for immigration.
This year, PGP applicants will be chosen by a lottery that will take place the week of September 20. IRCC will invite candidates to apply for the PGP over the course of two weeks.
The 30,000 candidates who will be invited had previously submitted Interest to Sponsor forms between October 13 and November 3, 2020.
The date for the next intake window is currently unknown, but is expected to be sometime in 2022.
What Should I Do If I Do Not Get Selected?
Those not successful in the PGP process should consider the Parents and Grandparents Super Visa, which allows a parent or grandparent to visit Canada for up to two years at a time. A super visa allows multiple entries for up to 10 years.
