  • Canada will cease accepting new applications for permanent residency under the Parents and Grandparents sponsorship program starting in 2025.
  • The IRCC will process only applications submitted in 2024, aiming for a cap of 15,000 sponsorships for that year.
  • For those wishing to prolong their relatives’ stay, the super visa option still permits visits of up to five years.
  • The program, which uses a lottery system for selection, has seen interested sponsors far outnumber available spots.
  • Reduction in permanent resident targets for 2025 has led to a decrease in PGP allocations, dropping from previously set targets.
