Canada has announced it will issue invitations to apply to 23,100 potential sponsors for the Parents and Grandparents Program for 2022.

Invitations will go out over the next two weeks, after which Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) expect to receive 15,000 invitations.

The invitations will be sent to randomly selected candidates who submitted an interest to sponsor form in 2020. This will be the third batch of invitations sent to these candidates, after January and September 2021.

Candidates are advised to check the email address they used on their interest to sponsor form over the next two weeks.

The sponsors and their parents and grandparents then have 60 days to submit a full application, to be done electronically.

IRCC says it will continue to use a lower income threshold for the PGP, first introduced during the pandemic for those experiencing financial difficulties.

For the 2020 and 2021 tax years, the income requirement for sponsors will be the minimum necessary income, instead of the minimum necessary income plus 30 per cent.

Employment Insurance benefits and temporary COVID-19 benefits (such as the Canada Emergency Response Benefit) will be allowed to be included towards the sponsor’s income.

Under the current Immigration Levels Plan, Canada is hoping to bring in 25,000 parents and grandparents this year and then raise the target to 28,500 new permanent residents next year.

What happens after I've been asked to submit my passport for a Canadian study visa?

When you submit your passport to the visa application center you will be submitting it to receive your visa, not your study permit. You will receive your study permit when you land in Canada.

When you arrive in Canada you must have your letter of acceptance from your DLI, the letter of approval for your study permit that IRCC sent you and your proof of funds. If you've paid your University tuition you can show your payment receipt as part of proof of funds. The border agents will require these before they issue your study permit.

A sample of the visa you will receive in your passport so you can enter Canada is attached below.

Also attached below is the study permit you will receive when you land in Canada. This is the document you need so you can study in Canada. If you do not have proof of funds when you arrive in Canada you will not receive your study permit.

What is the reality in Canada for immigrants?

Below is a personal experience of one of our clients.

"I would like to share my personal experience for the benefit of those who are thinking about Canadian immigration; when I moved to Canada in July 2018 I was in my early 30s. Having born and brought up in Dhaka, Bangladesh I used to work as a business development manager in a private corporation.

Back in Bangladesh my daily life was like waking up at 6 am in the morning, and then everyday struggle to catch the local bus from the outskirts of the city. Even with a decent salary I was unable afford a home and opted out from renting within the city to save up for a brighter future. I did own a vehicle though I never took it to work considering the stress of driving in the insane traffic conditions of the road in Dhaka city. I used to reach work by 8:30 a.m., and continued to work for 10 to 12 hrs. Once I was done with work I struggled again to board the local bus from the city back to the city outskirts. I hated having to spend time stuck in the dreadful Dhaka traffic where mostly everyone is moving in the same direction. Once I was back home by 10 p.m., I barely had time to spend with my friends and family. This quickly became a vicious cycle, the so called " Rat Race " where you are required to attend a University, find a decent job to pay your bills, go above and beyond at your workplace in order to climb the corporate ladder, a harsh reality which would carry on for the next 40 plus years of my life.

When I finally arrived in Canada I struggled a lot initially but after few months of handwork, perseverance, patience, a lot of researching & networking I received a job offer in a relevant field. I also moved to a smaller city of St. Albert, Alberta which has amazing weather for most part of the year; rather than settling in big cities like Toronto or Vancouver (preferred destination by many immigrants) St Albert is a beautiful city located in northwest of Edmonton that affords residents an outstanding quality of life where they can enjoy a secure, small-town feel, without losing access to everything you could need from a major metropolitan region. Moreover, with 1,900 hours of sunshine in the north and 2,300 hours of sunshine in the south annually, Alberta is Canada’s sunniest province.

I earn a 5 figure salary but in CADs of course and rented a one bedroom apartment for 1200 CAD. I wake up at 6 a.m. as usual but here I have time to offer my prayers in peace, prepare a healthy breakfast before leaving for work at 7:30 where I would cycle to work during summer months and use the city's excellent public transport during the winter. I live just 25 mins walking distance from work, that’s hardly 7-10 mins on bicycle and 12-15 mins by bus. I work from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and I am back home by 5:30 p.m. I then enjoy the rest of my day reading in the local library or playing badminton/ working out in the nearby club/ fitness center or take a nice stroll along the river front that’s hardly 5 mins from my home.

It has nearly been four years for me in Canada but I have enjoyed every bit of it, right from the struggle of getting a relevant job to making new friends from different nationalities, admiring the city's botanical gardens, museums, art exhibits and the neighboring natural wonders. I do miss my family and friends a lot but I strongly believe that I've made the right decision by moving to Canada. Alberta is affordable, friendly and rich in opportunity. I prefer this life over the one back in Bangladesh where I have my family and friends but hardly had any time to spend with them or with myself."
