Family Class Sponsorship

Many Canadian citizens and permanent residents have loved ones abroad that they wish they could bring to Canada.

The Canadian government offers a number of ways to allow this dream to become a reality under its Family Class Sponsorship class. Canada's Family Class Sponsorship programs are some of the most generous family reunification programs in the developed world. After all, the Canadian government is committed to keeping families together whenever possible.

There are a number of relationships that qualify for Family Class Sponsorship, including spouses and common law partners, parents and grand parents and dependent children. For parents and grandparents, there is also the Super Visa Program.

There are a number of ways to bring a parent or grandparent to Canada, including Canada's parents and grandparents sponsorship program, which has 10,000 yearly cap on the number of applications that are accepted. Once this cap is reached, there is still the Super Visa Program which allows parents and grandparents to come to Canada on extended multi-entry visas that could last up to a total of 10 years. You may also wish to explore the various Provincial Family Class Sponsorship programs that are available. No matter which program you choose, it is important that you ensure that the parent or grandparent meets the eligibility requirements and that the sponsor themselves meet Canada's sponsorship requirements.

On January 3, 2017, The 2017 Parent and Grandparent Program (PGP) re-opened. Under this program, if someone wanted to sponsor his parents or grandparents, he had to start by completing an online form and submitting it to IRCC. Sponsors were chosen at random from among those who completed the online form. This change is a part of the government’s commitment to fairness and transparency and to improve people’s access to the application process. Before, sponsors had to rush to apply in January when the program re-opened, which led some applicants to pay higher courier fees to secure their spot.

There is no rush to complete the online form right away. You have 30 days (from January 3, 2017, to February 2, 2017, at noon EST) to let us know you’re interested in applying to be a sponsor in the PGP.

Important information for you
  • Before you fill out the form, make sure you are eligible to apply under the PGP.
  • If you are eligible, be sure to include all the information requested on the form.
  • Do not submit the form more than once. Doing so will not increase your chances of being chosen to apply to sponsor. We will remove duplicate forms.
  • Completing the form does not mean you have applied to sponsor under the PGP. It is just a way for you to tell us you’d like to sponsor under the program.

After you complete and submit the online form, you will be redirected to a confirmation page, where you will get a confirmation number. Keep this number for your records.

After the 30 days are over, we will remove the online form from our website. IRCC will review each form and remove any duplicate forms. We will then randomly choose 10,000 numbered entries.

If your number is chosen, you will be contacted by email and invited to apply to sponsor your parents or grandparents. You will have 90 days from the date we contact you to send us your complete application.

If your number is not chosen, we will contact you by email to let you know. You can complete the online form again in 2018 if you wish.

The 2017 PGP application package will be available on our website on January 9, 2017. Please remember that only those whose number is randomly selected can apply under the program. Details on where to send the application are available in the package.
