Great News for Families in Canada!
Starting July 28, 2025, the Government of Canada will begin issuing 17,860 invitations under the Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP), a vital pathway for Canadian citizens and permanent residents to reunite with their loved ones permanently.
The goal? To receive 10,000 completed PR sponsorship applications this year — all from the pool of applicants who submitted an Interest to Sponsor Form in 2020.
If you’re among those waiting since 2020, check your email regularly over the two-week invitation period.
What Is the PGP?
The Parents and Grandparents Program is one of Canada’s flagship family reunification immigration streams. Under this program, eligible Canadian residents can sponsor their parents or grandparents to become permanent residents of Canada.
Due to overwhelming demand, Canada uses a lottery system to select sponsors from existing applicants. Since the last intake was in 2020, no new Interest to Sponsor submissions are being accepted in 2025. Only those who applied then are being considered for this round.
Didn’t Get Invited? Here’s Another Path: The Super Visa
If you don’t receive an invitation, don’t worry — the Super Visa Program offers another way to bring your parents or grandparents to Canada for an extended stay.
Unlike a regular visitor visa (which allows up to 6 months), the Super Visa grants visitor status for up to 10 years, with multiple entries.
To qualify:
-
Your relative must be admissible to Canada
-
You (the host) must meet minimum income requirements
-
The applicant must have valid Canadian medical insurance coverage
