Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has announced important updates regarding the Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP) for 2025. This pathway allows Canadian citizens and permanent residents to sponsor their parents and grandparents for permanent residency. Here’s what you need to know:    Limited Intake for 2025   1- No New Applications Accepted – IRCC will not open a new intake for 2025. Instead, it will select 10,000 applications from the existing pool of submissions made in 2020.   2- Same Process as Previous Years – Since 2020, IRCC has been conducting lotteries from the same backlog rather than accepting new applications.    Processing Times    What This Means for Sponsors   ✔ Good News for 2020 Applicants – If you submitted an interest to sponsor form in 2020 but weren’t selected, you still have a chance this year.   ❌ Bad News for New Sponsors – Those who missed the 2020 intake cannot apply in 2025 and must explore alternatives.    Alternative Options   1. Super Visa   2. Humanitarian & Compassionate (H&C) Applications    Next Steps   IRCC has not indicated when a new PGP intake will occur, so sponsors should stay updated through official channels.
