Canada Reopens Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship Program for 2025
In a major relief to Canadian permanent residents and citizens, the Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP) has officially reopened for 2025. This initiative allows individuals to bring their parents or grandparents to Canada permanently under the Family Class sponsorship category.
At Visa Master Canada, we understand the emotional value of family reunification — and we’re here to help you sponsor your loved ones with zero application errors and high success chances.
1. What Is the Parents and Grandparents Program?
The PGP allows Canadian citizens and permanent residents to sponsor their parents or grandparents to become permanent residents of Canada. It is separate from the Super Visa, which is only temporary.
Key Details for the 2025 PGP Cycle
| Requirement | Details (2025) |
|---|---|
| Program Type | Permanent Residency Sponsorship (Family Class) |
| Intake Year | 2025 |
| Invitation Type | By invitation only (random selection from Interest to Sponsor pool) |
| Financial Requirements | Minimum necessary income for past 3 tax years |
| Processing Time | 20–24 months (may vary) |
| Deadline to Apply (Once Invited) | 60 days from invitation email |
2. Who Is Eligible?
To sponsor a parent or grandparent, you must:
- Be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident
- Be 18 years or older
- Reside in Canada
- Meet the Minimum Necessary Income (MNI) requirement
- Agree to financially support the sponsored person for 20 years
Need help understanding income levels or your eligibility? Our experts at Visa Master Canada are ready to evaluate your case.
3. How Does the Invitation System Work?
IRCC uses a lottery system. Those who submitted the “Interest to Sponsor” form in previous years are selected randomly. If you receive an invitation:
- You have 60 days to submit a complete sponsorship application
- All documents must be error-free and translated if required
- Proof of income for the last 3 years is mandatory
4. What If You Don’t Get Invited?
You still have a great option — the Super Visa, which allows parents/grandparents to stay in Canada for up to 5 years at a time, with multiple entries over 10 years.
