 Canada has announced the application process for the 2022 Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP).  Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will send out invitations to apply to 23,100 interested potential sponsors over the next two weeks. IRCC said the figure was sufficient to meet its target of accepting up to 15,000 applications for full sponsorship under PGP 2022. Invitations will begin later this week.
 IRCC will be calling for those who have expressed an interest in sponsoring a parent or grandparent in the fall of 2020. There are also about 155,000 potential sponsors in the pool, according to IRCC. At the time, potential sponsors had three weeks to indicate their interest by filling out a form on the IRCC website. IRCC then conducted a draw and received approximately 10,000 PGP 2020 applications. Last year, IRCC drew about 30,000 PGP 2021 applications from the same pool.

Sponsors who live in Quebec

 Canadians who wish to sponsor a parent or grandparent and who live in Quebec have their income assessed by Quebec’s immigration ministry, based on the province’s income requirements.  Both IRCC and the Government of Quebec require a signed undertaking from interested sponsors. This undertaking sets out how long the sponsor will be financially responsible for the family members they are sponsoring from the time they become permanent residents of Canada.  The length of the undertaking for parents and grandparents is 20 years for residents of all Canadian provinces except Quebec. For residents of Quebec, the duration of that commitment is 10 years.
