Parental and Grandparents Sponsorship registration opens today!
The reopening of the Parental and Grandparents Sponsorship (PGP) is scheduled for today. The government allows all interested to sponsor to submit their interest to sponsor form by November 3, 2020. To be eligible to sponsor, Canadian citizens and permanent residents must the financial requirements set by the government. Due to COVID-19, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) eased the financial criteria for 2020 income to Low Income Cut-Off (LICO) only. In the previous years, sponsors had to demonstrate LICO + 30% to be eligible for sponsorship. After November 3, IRCC will close the registration and randomly select 10,000 candidates. Those who get the invitations to apply will have 60 days to submit the full application. The processing time in the program now is 20 to 24 months. Next year, IRCC intends to increase the quota for PGP to 30,000 spots.
