The Parents and Grandparents program is one of Canada’s most popular immigration programs. And the country has been looking for new steps to handle the application intake. But because of the recent COVID-19 pandemic, Canada has decided to delay the opening of 2020 Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP).
As per IRCC, the launch of the call of expressions of interest to apply for this program was to happen recently. But the govt is now pushing forward the release date to the near future.
Furthermore, IRCC continues to process all applications. And is expecting that the delay of call of expressions of interest will not affect the parents and grandparents arriving in Canada.
The PGP program helps Canadian citizens and permanent residents to sponsor their parents and grandparents to get permanent resident status in Canada. And in 2019, some 100,000 Canadians and permanent residents expressed their interest to sponsor. Even though the available no of spots to sponsor parents and grandparents was only 21,000. Therefore, Canada is set to admit 21,000 under the PGP each year. As seen in the 2020-2022 Immigration Levels Plan.
IRCC is trying to use new methods for managing the PNP. And is trying to improve its ways. It includes the use of the first-come, first-served model. As per this method, applications are processed as per the order in which they are submitted. In addition, IRCC has tried to use the lottery method. In this method, sponsors are selected randomly.
Finally, we are yet to see what approach IRCC will take when it launches the PGP soon.
