PGP 2025

[blxfrost]

Any clue when PgP 2025 will re-open?

It is never announced in advance. Who knows when it will happen and if only for 2020 profiles. This year it was a May lottery.

i was looking into options to sponsor my mother. She is around 65 years and currently living alone in my home country. Is there a way I can sponsor her on a family class sponsorship instead of waiting for PGP?. I am looking into options as waiting for PGP is a long wait i guess.

Long story short?. will I be eligible to apply under family class sponsorship for her?. I do meet all the income requirements. please advise. tia

Apply for supervisa. PGP is the only way you can sponsor her for immigration.

Btw, would you be able to continue living in Canada until she becomes a PR?

PGP is the only family class option. Apply for supervisa. Being alone is not a special reason.

Family class is only possible if she has a Canadian spouse.

Just clarifying that a supervisa only allows her to visit Canada with no guarantee she can stay so that should be a consideration. Also requires her to qualify for supervisa insurance every year.

thanks everyone for clarifying this. Yes I know supervisa is an option. but having the supervisa insurance is pretty expensive. considering the age and health conditions.

if I get her on supervisa. Can I apply for PR on humanitarian grounds. off the 4 ....3 siblings are in Canada. Would this help?

I will try to live here in Canada if she can become PR in the next 2 years. Is there a special reason that you are asking this?

The H&C program is not meant to circumvent the PGP program. Technically you could try to apply but zero guarantee it will be approved and especially if one child lives in their home country. If denied expect that they will have difficulty visiting Canada. Parent sponsorship is not guaranteed and given we are in a healthcare crisis there may be adjustments to PGP. No matter what demand far exceeds the amount of spots available and H&C will likely have to be reformed because people are abusing that program as well. H&C applications are also taking 2 years these days if not longer for some. You should be exploring options in their home country.

Under current eligibility rules, sponsors have to be physically living in Canada at least for the past three years before applying to sponsor their PGP and until the sponsored relatives becomes PR.

There are zero guarantees that your parent will be able to secure PR I’m Canada. You will need multiple years of meeting LICO in Canada just to apply and will need to keep living and meeting LICO if your PGP application gets accepted. The likelihood of getting PR in the next 2 years is extremely low.

LICO = Low income cut-off and they only look at Canadian tax returns.

Applying under H&C is not recommend in this situation and with her profile given you have a sibling outside of Canada. With a refused H&C application, future entries into Canada become much more challenging.

You can apply, but be aware of the above.
