Parents and Grandparents Program will reopen on a first-come, first-served basis

If you were waiting for a great opportunity to sponsor your parents or grandparents to Canada, now is the time! Canada will reopen the Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship Program in seven days. The program will come with some updates in the application intake process. Keep reading to know all about the news on the application process and how to become a candidate.

Starting on January 28, 2019, at noon (EST), the interest to sponsor form submissions will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. The application intake process will happen for a limited time and it will replace the old lottery system. Once the limit of form submissions is reached, the form will no longer be available, and no new submissions will be accepted. Potential sponsors will be invited to apply based on the order IRCC received the interest to sponsor forms.
