The IRCC (Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada) has selected 10,000 sponsors, who showed in their interest in Parent and Grandparent Program in the beginning of the year. The IRCC made a change in the format of Parent and Grandparent Program (PGP) this year. The PGP allows the eligible sponsors to invite their parents and grandparents to Canada. However, the sponsor must be the citizens or permanent residents of Canada. Lets find out more about the PGP selections under the new format.

The sponsors who have been selected by IRCC will have 90 days to submit the complete application along with all the supporting documents to invite their parents or grandparents to Canada under Parent and Grandparent Program (PGP).

As many as 95,000 applicants submitted the Interested to sponsor form online, out of which, IRCC has now selected the 10,000 sponsors as per the annual PGP quota.
