PGP 2023 Opens this Fall: Reunite with Your Family in Canada! In the heart of Canada’s immigration system, a steadfast commitment to family reunification lies. The Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP) for 2023 is set to open this fall, serving as a testament to this dedication. This program aims to help Canadian citizens and permanent residents sponsor their loved ones to live and work in Canada. It also offers an unparalleled opportunity for families to come together. Let’s delve into the details of PGP 2023, supported by official announcements from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). And it explores the possibilities hold for family reunification.

Historical Commitment to Family Reunification

Canada commits to reuniting families through the PGP, as highlighted by the historically high admissions numbers for parents and grandparents under the Multi-Year Levels Plan. The government’s dedication to fostering strong family bonds remains unwavering.

Parents and Grandparents Program 2023 Application Intake

IRCC is all set to accept up to 15,000 complete applications for sponsorship under the Parents and Grandparents Program 2023. An exciting development is the forthcoming invitations to apply, which IRCC will send to 24,200 potential sponsors starting on October 10, 2023. IRCC aims to receive up to 15,000 complete applications during this intake.

Unique Approach for 2023 Intake

To streamline the process and ensure fairness, IRCC will randomly select potential sponsors from the existing pool of submissions from 2020 and send them invitations to apply. This approach mirrors the successful method employed for the 2021 and 2022 intakes. Those who submitted an interest to sponsor form in 2020 but didn’t receive an invitation in the past two years. They should keep an eye on their email accounts for potential invitations.

Modernization and Simplification

Continuing its commitment to modernize Canada’s immigration system. IRCC encourages applicants to use the Permanent Residence Portal or the Representative Permanent Residence Portal. These portals allow applicants to submit electronic applications, making the process faster and more convenient.

Alternatives for Reunification

For those who may not receive an invitation this year, there are alternatives to consider. Parents and grandparents can apply for a super visa, a multiple-entry visa valid for up to 10 years. Recent enhancements to the super visa program permit holders to stay in Canada for 5 years at a time, with the option to extend their visit by up to 2 years at a time without leaving the country. These changes offer flexibility and convenience for family reunification.

Accessing Intake Reports

To gain insights into previous application intakes for the Parents and Grandparents Program, interested parties can refer to the recently published intake report, “The Parents and Grandparents Program: Intake Report 2014 to 2019,” available on the IRCC website. Additionally, IRCC plans to publish a more recent intake report. It will cover the 2020 to 2022 application intakes by the end of the year. And will provide valuable data for prospective sponsors.
