The Canadian government provided an update on the Parents and Grandparents (PGP) Program in 2025.
Key Points:
Additional Information: Authorities confirmed that overall reductions to immigration targets in the 2025–27 Immigration Levels Plan will require IRCC to recalibrate the number of new applications, and this will impact families who have not had an opportunity to submit an interest to sponsor form. IRCC is trying to balance the number of PGP Program applications received with the number of PGP Program spaces available within the prescribed Immigration Levels Plan.
As BAL reported, the government recently made the super visa more accessible by implementing a change to the health insurance requirement, and this option remains available for parents and grandparents who would like to visit Canada.
