VISA APPROVALS | 2019 Bring your Parents to Live in Canada as Permanent Citizena | PGP Visa 2019 @visaapprovals9149 | Uploaded 5 years ago | Updated 4 hours ago
Individuals looking to sponsor their parents and/or grandparents in 2019 may begin the process by submitting an Interest to Sponsor form on January 28 at NOON Eastern Standard Time.
The form will be available for a limited time and Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada will invite potential sponsors to submit a complete application, in the order their submissions were received, until the 2019 cap of 20,000 complete applications is reached.
This first-in, first-served approach will replace the randomized invitations process for IRCC's Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP) that was used last year.
Canada's Minister of Immigration, Ahmed Hussen, said the Interest to Sponsor form has been improved to include features that can help the department detect duplicate submissions and prospective fraud.
Who is eligible to sponsor a parent or grandparent to Canada?
Potential sponsors must
be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident;
be 18 years of age or older;
support the sponsored person and their dependants financially
meet the minimum necessary income level for this program by submitting notices of assessment issued by the Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA) in support of their sponsorship.
demonstrate they have met the minimum necessary income level for three consecutive years. If married or in a common-law relationship, the income of both persons can be included; and
sign a sponsorship agreement that commits the sponsor to provide financial support for the sponsored person for up to 20 years.he Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) have called to increase the intake number of applications of Parent and Grandparent Program (PGP). Government of Canada had set an initial target of brining in 20,000 new permanent residents under the PGP in 2017. In April, 10,000 applications were chosen. The 90-day deadline to apply elapsed and IRCC had not meet its set target. Therefore, to achieve the set target, IRCC conducts another round of invitation (the second round of 2017) from September 6, 2017, which shall continue for a few days.
This means that most of the sponsors, who were unable to make it in the first round held in April, have a good chance of receiving their invitation to apply under the PGP program. However, this chance will be only for the applicants who had submitted their Interest to Sponsor form during start of 2017 and have not been invited yet. All the invited sponsors have a deadline till December 8 to submit their complete application.
Candidates whose application was submitted after August 4 will not be considered for this round of invitation. IRCC confirmed that the registration to enter PGPs Interest to Sponsor Pool will reopen in early 2018 for sponsors- with higher intake plan. Read More
