What to understand
The parents and grandparents program uses a controlled intake process, with invitations and sponsor requirements that can change. It is not continuously open to everyone.
What to prepare
Check whether IRCC is accepting interest forms or invitations, and review the income and undertaking requirements for the applicable intake. Keep records that support family relationships and financial history.
Important to know
Do not pay anyone who promises an invitation. If permanent sponsorship is unavailable, investigate the super visa as a distinct temporary option.
Check the official requirements
Program rules, eligibility, fees and processing times may change. This guide is general information, not legal advice or a guarantee of any outcome. Check the current government instructions before applying.
