Canada aims at 20,000 complete applications for 2019

The Government of Canada is currently issuing invitations to apply to its Parents and Grandparents Program.

Canada’s Parents and Grandparents Program permits Canadian natives and permanent occupants beyond 18 years old to support their parents as well as grandparents for Canadian permanent home.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) said invitations are being issued in a similar request that Interest to Sponsor forms was received amid the submission time frame held on January 28.

The primary invitations were issued April 24 and IRCC said that it will take a couple of days to send every single potential sponsor their invitations. Interested sponsors who get a welcome from IRCC will have 60 days from the date of their welcome to present a total sponsorship application.

IRCC has an objective of 20,000 complete applications to its Parents and Grandparents Program for 2019. IRCC has said that it might lead other welcome rounds to meet its 2019 target.

Application process

Interested sponsors who get an encouragement to apply must submit two complete applications — the application to turn into a sponsor and the application from their parents or grandparents for Canadian permanent living arrangement.

Candidates must make certain to utilize the most recent forms.

About the program – PGP

Canada’s Family Class sponsorship program incorporates a stream devoted to parents and grandparents of Canadian natives and permanent inhabitants. Parents and grandparents affirmed under this program get Canadian permanent living arrangement and may inevitably have the capacity to apply for Canadian citizenship.

To be qualified for Canada’s Parents and Grandparents Program, an individual must meet:

  • Be a Canadian native, a lasting occupant of Canada, or an enrolled Indian under the Canadian Indian Act;
  • Be 18 years old or more;
  • Be residing in Canada (potential candidates should give a proof of status amid the Interest to Sponsor phase);
  • Exceed the base essential pay level for this program (whenever in a marriage or custom-based law relationship, the pay of both the sponsor and life partner can be incorporated) and give verification of salary to IRCC; and
  • Sign an undertaking:

–  To monetarily support the sponsors for a long time (beginning when they become permanent inhabitants); and

–  To reimburse any social help benefits paid to the supported relatives (if relevant) for a time of 20 years.

–  If the sponsor resides in Quebec, an extra “undertaking” must be marked with the territory of Quebec. It is essential that PGP candidates should show approval that they meet the base pay prerequisites by submitting a notification of appraisal issued by the Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA) in support of their application.
