Parents & Grandparents Sponsorship
Parents & Grandparents Sponsorship
An Exclusive Immigration Option
- Be a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident aged 18 or older.
- Receive an invitation to apply for the PGP.
- Live in Canada.
- Possess adequate income to support their parents or grandparents.
- Satisfy all Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations prerequisites.
Applicants must submit a signed undertaking to IRCC (Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada), committing to providing comprehensive support for their parents and grandparents. The sponsor should be financially capable of sustaining this support for a period of twenty years from the date their parents or grandparents acquire permanent residency. This support encompasses fundamental necessities such as food, housing, utilities, and clothing.
It is mandatory to submit a PGP application to IRCC within 60 days of receiving the invitation letter. Prospective applicants are initially required to submit an indication of interest to sponsor, and IRCC may employ a lottery system to randomly select the final list of applicants before issuing invitation letters.
Applying for PGP Sponsorship
When submitting the Interest to Sponsor form, no attachments of documents are required. Nevertheless, you will need to provide income details for the past three years. The form also necessitates information pertaining to your eligibility to sponsor parents and grandparents, along with detailed information about your parents and grandparents. Completing the PGP application within 60 days of receiving the invitation letter is essential.
When filling out the PGP application form, you’ll need to include the confirmation number from the invitation letter. The application must be comprehensive and accurate, as any mistakes or omissions could lead to rejection. Seeking assistance from an immigration consultant can ensure the correct preparation and submission of the PGP application.
Here is a list of documents to be included with your PGP sponsorship application:
- Proof of residence in Canada.
- Proof of immigration status.
- Civil status documentation.
- Evidence of income for the past three years to demonstrate meeting the minimum income requirements.
- Police clearance certificates for parents and grandparents.
- Digital photograph.
- Medical certificates.
Crucial Aspects of PGP Sponsorship
When it comes to PGP sponsorship through Nexus Migration, parents or grandparents are not required to demonstrate their proficiency in either French or English. It’s important to note that Nexus Migration doesn’t support the sponsorship of in-laws by permanent residents or Canadian citizens. However, if your spouse is applying for PGP sponsorship, they can be included as co-applicants. Please be aware that parents and grandparents facing medical or criminal inadmissibility may not be eligible for entry into Canada through our services.
To enhance your chances of receiving an invitation to sponsor your parents and grandparents, it’s crucial to accurately complete the Interest to Sponsor form, and Nexus Migration’s experienced immigration consultants are here to provide guidance and assistance in ensuring the proper submission of all applications. While the typical processing time for a PGP application is approximately 24 months, by choosing Nexus Migration, you can expedite the process with the help of our professional immigration consultants.
