The Canadian Government has announced that the popular Parent and Grandparent Sponsorship Program (PGP) will open on January 28, 2019. The program allows Canadians to sponsor their parents and grandparents to become permanent residents. It is expected that government will invite 20,000 new applicants through a first-come, first-served application process in 2019.
In 2018, the application forms cycle went live on January 2, 2018 and was available until February 1, 2018. Canadian Citizens and permanent residents who want to apply as sponsors through this program are required to first complete an online form on the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) website to indicate their interest in applying to sponsor their parent(s) or grandparent(s).
However, the application process for PGP has not been released but one thing is clear that Canada has shifted from randomized lottery system for the selection of applicants for the PGP. In the last two years, the applications under this stream were selected through lottery system after applicant’s submission of their Expression of Interest. In 2019, the government has decided to move to ‘first-come, first-serve method’ from lottery system. Visit https://bit.ly/2RLrtIH Source Link for more details.
