Canada parents/ grandparents sponsorship
A qualified Sponsor is a Permanent Resident or Canadian Citizen residing in Canada. (Find out if you need a Visa <http//.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/visas.asp>). Unlike the Super visa, Sponsoring parents or grandparents is a permanent immigration solution. A primary Applicant can only include their spouse or Common Law partner, not like the Super Visa whereby dependents can accompany. An eligible Sponsor in Canada must first submit an ‘Interest to Sponsor’ within 30 days of the programs annual opening. The Parent Grandparent Sponsorship Program is regulated by the Minister of Immigration and is capped with an annual number of accepted applicants. Successful applicants are chosen randomly by a ‘Randomized Selection Intake Management’ system, if selected, the sponsor submits a ‘confirmation number’ along with their application to IRCC. It is critical that the sponsor be prepared to submit all required documents within 90 days of receiving a confirmation number.
