Canada's Parents and Grandparents Program Set to Open for Invitations
Canada's federal government has announced that the highly anticipated Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP) will launch a new round of invitations on July 28, 2025. Over a two-week period, the immigration department will send 17,860 invitations to candidates who submitted an interest to sponsor form in 2020, with the goal of accepting 10,000 complete permanent residence applications. For sponsors who do not receive an invitation this round, or for families who were unable to enter the pool in recent years, the Super Visa remains an important pathway for parents and grandparents to reunite with family in Canada for long-term stays.
