Sponsors securing an invite for the 2024 sponsorship round should prepare for a digital submission process, utilizing the Permanent Residence Portal or its counterpart for representatives. This advancement reflects the government’s commitment towards a more efficient and accessible immigration service.
Key Steps for Prospective PGP Sponsors Upon Invitation
Upon receiving an invitation to sponsor your relatives under the Parent and Grandparent Program (PGP), you are required to meticulously prepare and lodge two distinct yet concurrent applications:
Initiate your sponsorship application.
Facilitate the permanent residence application for your parents or grandparents.
It is imperative that you submit these applications together, via online channels, in a timely manner. For comprehensive guidance on application protocols, please consult the IRCC’s designated webpage.
Expanding on Canada’s Parent and Grandparent Program (PGP)
PL Immigration highlights the Parent and Grandparent Program as a pivotal component of the Family Class immigration pathway. This initiative enables Canadian citizens and residents to reunite with their parents or grandparents by sponsoring their journey towards becoming permanent residents in Canada.
Beneficiaries of the PGP are granted the privilege of living and working across Canada, enjoying unfettered access to comprehensive public health care, and a host of other societal amenities. Furthermore, PGP recipients can eventually pursue Canadian citizenship.
The multi-year immigration strategy of the Canadian government plans to welcome an approximate figure of 25,000 new parents and grandparents as permanent residents yearly under the PGP.
Engaging in the PGP necessitates certain prerequisites for both sponsors and beneficiaries:
Sponsors should:
A binding sponsorship contract affirms the sponsor’s fiscal responsibility towards the newcomers for a term ranging between three to twenty years, depending on various factors like age and relational context. Additionally, new permanent residents pledge to endeavor towards self-reliance.
At the present time, PL Immigration has halted the acceptance of new sponsorship applications under the Parent and Grandparent Sponsorship Program for Canadian citizens and permanent residents wishing to sponsor their relatives. Interested parties will need to wait for the next application window as the current status does not allow for the submission of new sponsorships.The time frame for when the program will begin accepting new sponsorships remains uncertain.
Currently, PL Immigration is focusing on processing the backlog of pre-existing expressions of interest from sponsors, which is quite substantial due to the number of individuals wishing to bring their family members to Canada.
The pause in new application acceptance has raised concerns among prospective sponsors, particularly those who have been unable to submit their interest since 2020, leading to a wave of dissatisfaction with the slow-moving process.
The organization is monitoring the situation closely and will provide updates on when they will resume accepting new sponsorship applications for the reunification of parents and grandparents with their families in Canada.

For those facing challenges in sponsoring their parents or grandparents for Canadian permanent residency, the Super Visa program by PL Immigration presents a viable alternative. This initiative allows extended family visits, providing a flexible and long-term solution for families seeking to reunite in Canada.
The Super Visa: A Gateway to Family Reunification in Canada
The Canadian Super Visa program stands as a beacon of hope for individuals who wish to bring their parents or grandparents to the country but find themselves ineligible or are facing delays with the Parent and Grandparent Program (PGP). The Super Visa is a multi-entry visa that remains valid for a decade, offering parents and grandparents the freedom to stay in Canada for up to five years per visit. Moreover, it’s possible to apply for consecutive two-year extensions while remaining in the country, avoiding the need for re-entry.
A Strategic Option beyond the Parent and Grandparent Program
Often, the PGP has limited application windows and capacity, which can lead to significant waiting times and uncertainty. Some may also find the financial requirements for sponsorship beyond their reach. The Super Visa program by PL Immigration sidesteps these hurdles, providing a separate avenue for reuniting families without the wait or the same financial prerequisites.
The Super Visa: Not a Route to Permanent Residency but a Reunion Facilitator
It’s essential to recognize that the Super Visa does not lead to permanent resident status. Applicants will need to secure private medical insurance and are restricted from working in Canada unless they acquire the appropriate authorization. Yet, the advantage lies in the relatively swift processing time, which can expedite family reunification efforts significantly compared to the PGP.
Application Freedom and Continuous Family Bonds
The beauty of the Super Visa program is that it doesn’t operate on an invitation basis – eligible family members can apply at any time, paving the way for parents and grandparents to join their loved ones in Canada efficiently and flexibly. As a solution crafted for reconnecting families, the Super Visa by PL Immigration offers an alternative pathway, ensuring that distance doesn’t keep loved ones apart.
