The country has opened up opportunities for the immigration of parents, grandparents, and other elderly relatives of the applicant under the Family Reunification Program (The Parents and Grandparents Program - PGP).
What parents, grandparents, and elderly relatives will receive:
- The opportunity for permanent residency in Canada.
- Legal protection, access to medical care, and the right to work.
- In the future (if their stay in Canada meets the requirements) – the ability to apply for citizenship.
Key nuances:
- The sponsor must be over 18 years old and residing in Canada.
- They must have a minimum necessary income and commit to financially support the sponsored relatives for 20 years (for Quebec, it's 10 years) starting from the moment they become permanent residents.
- If the sponsor lacks sufficient income, their spouse can act as a co-sponsor, combining both incomes for consideration. Civil marriage partnerships are also eligible.
- The applicants should provide information about their income for the last 3 years.
For specific details on required amounts and other requirements for approval of the family reunification request, refer to the official program website.
