A Step-by-Step Guide to Sponsoring Your Parents and Grandparents to Canada

Canada's Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP) remains a vital link for reuniting families. As we look ahead to 2024, understanding the nuances of the program is more important than ever. This post provides a detailed roadmap for those planning to sponsor their parents or grandparents.

Program Overview for 2024:

The PGP follows an annual cycle, starting with the interest to sponsor submission. Ensure you submit during the specific time frame set by IRCC for 2024 and wait for a potential invitation to proceed with the full application.

Sponsorship Eligibility:

To sponsor, you must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident over the age of 18, meeting the Minimum Necessary Income (MNI) plus 30% for three consecutive years, proven by Notices of Assessment from the Canada Revenue Agency.

Financial Commitment:

Prepare your financial documents meticulously. You will need to prove that you can financially support the sponsored family members for 20 years, which means they won't need social assistance.

Proving Family Ties:

Gather and notarize documents proving your relationship, such as birth certificates, baptismal certificates, or other official documents that confirm your family connection.

The PGP for 2024 can be a smooth process with careful preparation and attention to the program's updates. Keep informed about the latest IRCC announcements and deadlines for a successful application.
