Parents & Grandparents Program(PGP) 2022

[PP2014]

Is there any whatsapp group for PGP2022 for quick updates?

This group is more active than WhatsApp groups out there.

Yes.

Thanks @scylla and @Naturgrl for your kind comments and clarifications.
Had a bit of a scare for a while but glad that I'm able to use my spouse's (co-signer's income) as well.

The statement below in this link threw me off-
Combined proof of income between the sponsor and co-signer (for example the sponsor submits 2 years of notices of assessment and the co-signer submits 3 years) does not meet the requirements under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations. Both the sponsor and co-signer (if there is one) must submit 3 notices of assessment, or equivalent documents, issued by the Minister of National Revenue. The assessments must be for the 3 taxation years immediately before the sponsorship application date.

Sorry if I'm missing the obvious.

Why would this statement throw you? It confirms what we said. Both of you will submit 3 CRA NOAs.

Just submit 3 years of NOA of both you and your spouse's. It doesn't matter how much each of you made. Just submit the NOA. (From your reply before, you made less income in 2019 from the 4 months that you lived in Canada but the combination of both of your income meets the requirement)

Hopefully the Lost Confirmation Number Tool can help you to find your application. We know nothing about the tool at this point.

If you lost or forgot your confirmation number
You will be able to use the Lost Confirmation Number tool to get your confirmation number if you submitted an interest to sponsor form in 2020 but have:

• Lost the confirmation number you received; or
• Are now using a different email

We’ll post this tool when we finish sending invitations to apply.

Anyone else got the invitation today ?

 

[canuck78]

Alright, that helps.
So as long as for each of the 3 years, our combined CRA NOA incomes are over the MNI, we should be good, right?

Any unemployment has to be deducted in the 2019 income. All the details are in the instructions. Agree that your US income before you moved to Canada won’t count. If included in your taxable income will need to be deducted.

I got it

 

[canuck78]

judging by the email address sending out invitations, PGP this year will still start off at CIO mississauga.

Don’t think this means anything. Believe this happened last year and then many applications were then processed through home countries. Processing times are around 3 years at the moment so this is along process where you get no updates for months even a year.

 

[PP2014]

I got it

Can you please share the confirmation number?

Has anyone previously used a primary applicant's expired passport for the initial application? My father's passport is currently expired and the earliest he would be able to renew it is in June 2023 due to the backlog / financial crisis over there. Would an expired passport / explanation letter suffice for now, or would that deem my application as incomplete?

 

[PP2014]

Hopefully tomorrow we are going to get more invitations, good luck to all

You’ll need to submit the expired passport with an explanation but there is also a good chance that the application will be returned. If you can on,y get a new passport in June 2023 you’ll need to take a chance and submit the expired passport.

Good Morning, i have received a invitation email yesterday for my parents, is that something you can complete the application by yourself without hiring any consultants.

Have any one in the group has done this by himself in the past?
