This program lets eligible Canadians and permanent residents sponsor their parents and grandparents for permanent residence. Because of high demand, IRCC usually invites sponsors from a pool rather than accepting open applications. Sponsors must prove enough income over several recent tax years.
Canadians and permanent residents who can financially support their parents or grandparents long term.
Our licensed advisors assess your eligibility, build a strategy to strengthen your application, and manage the process end to end, so you submit a complete, competitive application with confidence.
The Super Visa lets parents and grandparents visit Canada for extended periods on a multi-entry visa, but it grants temporary status, not permanent residence.
The undertaking is 20 years from the date they become permanent residents (10 years if you are in Quebec).
The Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship (PGP) program is a unique opportunity for eligible Canadians and permanent residents to sponsor their parents and grandparents for permanent residence in Canada.
You must meet or exceed IRCC's Minimum Necessary Income (MNI) for each of the three tax years before you apply, proven with CRA Notices of Assessment.
To sponsor your parents or grandparents through the Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship (PGP) program, there are several key requirements you must meet.
Yes, your spouse or common-law partner can be a co-signer, and their income can be combined with yours to meet the Minimum Necessary Income.
Yes, you must be a Canadian citizen, permanent resident, or registered Indian living in Canada to sponsor parents or grandparents.
The PGP is intake-limited: you submit an 'interest to sponsor' form during an open window, and IRCC invites a limited number of sponsors (often from a previous pool) to apply.
