CANADA TO REOPEN PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS PROGRAM THIS MONTH

Exciting news for those eagerly anticipating family reunification opportunities in Canada! The Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP) is set to reopen its doors this month, signaling a promising chance for loved ones to be reunited. Scheduled to commence on May 21, 2024, Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will be reaching out to potential sponsors who previously expressed their interest in sponsoring their parents or grandparents.

This reopening comes with significant expansion, as IRCC aims to extend invitations to 35,700 individuals from the pool of applicants who submitted their interest-to-sponsor forms back in 2020. The target is to receive 20,500 complete applications, showcasing Canada's commitment to facilitating family ties and responding to the growing demand for such programs. Notably, this marks a substantial increase of 5,500 invitations compared to the previous intake in 2023, underlining Canada's dedication to promoting family unity.

For those who missed the opportunity to submit their interest-to-sponsor forms in 2020, there's still a pathway to enable their parents and grandparents to visit Canada. The super visa remains a viable option, allowing for extended stays of up to 5 years at a time, with the flexibility to prolong their visit while in the country.

This reopening of the Parents and Grandparents Program signifies a remarkable chance for families to come together and create lasting memories. Whether through sponsorship or the super visa route, the opportunity for cherished reunions is within reach.
