The Government of Canada is now issuing invitations to apply to its Parents and Grandparents Program.
Canada’s Parents and Grandparents Program allows Canadian citizens and permanent residents over the age of 18 to sponsor their parents and/or grandparents for Canadian permanent residence.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) said invitations are being issued in the same order that Interest to Sponsor forms were received during the submission period held on January 28.
said that it will take a few days to send all potential sponsors their invitations.
Invitations will be sent to the email address used on the Interest to Sponsor form. However, IRCC said it is possible that some invitations could end up in the junk mail folder, so be sure to check there.
Interested sponsors who receive an invitation from IRCC will have 60 days from the date of their invitation to submit a complete sponsorship application.
IRCC has a target of 20,000 complete applications to its Parents and Grandparents Program for 2019.
If necessary, IRCC has said that it may conduct other invitation rounds to meet its 2019 target.
