Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada announced that the intake of permanent visa applications for the parents and grandparents sponsorship program will be postponed. The Department will need more time to complete the development of a new application intake management process for the parents and grandparents sponsorship program, to be implemented in 2020. The Minister intends to issue further instructions relating to the intake management process for the parents and grandparents program by April 1, 2020, at the latest. IRCC encourages interested potential sponsors and stakeholders to stay up to date on PGP 2020 by visiting IRCC’s website and social media channels: Facebook and Twitter.
