Dear future neighbour,

Canada has officially launched its 2025 Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP), inviting 17,860 eligible sponsors to apply for permanent residence on behalf of their parents and grandparents. The invitation round began on July 28, 2025, with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) set to issue invitations over a two-week period.

Why 17,860 Invitations for a Cap of 10,000 Applications?

Although IRCC aims to process up to 10,000 complete sponsorship applications, it issued 17,860 invitations to accommodate withdrawals and ineligibility, ensuring the application target is met. This strategic over-invitation helps offset non-responders and incomplete submissions.

See below details of PGP Invitation

Detail Information
Invitation Date July 28, 2025
Total Invitations Issued 17,860
Complete Applications Target 10,000
Eligibility Pool Interest to Sponsor forms submitted in 2020
Submission Window Within 60 days of ITA receipt
Processing Time ~24 months (outside Quebec); up to 48 months in Quebec
Alternatives Super Visa; Humanitarian & Compassionate (H&C)

Who Was Eligible for the 2025 Invitation Round?

Only applicants from the 2020 Interest to Sponsor pool qualified. IRCC did not reopen the form for new submissions in 2025, maintaining consistency with prior intake strategies.

Eligible sponsors needed to:

  • Be at least 18 years old and a Canadian citizen, permanent resident, or registered Indian under the Canadian Indian Act;

  • Reside in Canada throughout the process;

  • Demonstrate financial stability (Minimum Necessary Income) over the past three tax years (2022‑2024)

Invitation Timeline & Required Actions

  • July 28 – early August 2025: Invitations were sent via email, including to spam/junk folders so invitees were advised to monitor closely.

  • Once invited, sponsors had 60 days to submit a complete application through the Permanent Residence Portal or a representative portal

Processing Duration & Regional Differences

Processing time varies by location:

  • For applicants outside Quebec: approximately 24 months

  • For applications targeting Quebec: up to 48 months due to provincial requirements

What Invitees Should Do Now

If you received an ITA:

  • Gather documentation early—proof of income (CRA Notices of Assessment), identity, relationship, medical exams, and police certificates.

  • Submit both sponsorship and permanent residence application within 60 days.

  • Ensure you meet all eligibility criteria and complete every form accurately to avoid delays.

Alternatives if You Were Not Selected

If you did not receive an invitation:

  • You remain in the 2020 pool and may be invited in future draws.

  • Consider the Super Visa, which allows parents and grandparents to visit Canada for up to five years per stay, with multiple entries over 10 years. While it doesn’t grant permanent residency, it offers greater flexibility.

  • In special hardship or caregiving situations, Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) applications may present another pathway.

Dear future neighbour,

On March 6, 2025, IRCC sent out 4,500 invitations to apply for permanent residency in a French Language Focused Express Entry Draw. Candidates eligible for this draw were those who demonstrated French language proficiency by achieving a minimum score of 7 in all four language abilities on the Niveaux de compétence linguistique canadiens (NCLC) scale.

This is the second draw in the month of March, prior to this draw, a Provincial Nominee Program category based draw was held on the 3rd of March were 725 candidates were invited to apply for PR.

  • Rank Required: 4,500 or higher

Dear future neighbour,

Canada’s Express Entry system helps skilled workers from around the world immigrate to Canada. In 2025, Express Entry continues to offer a fast and efficient way to apply for permanent residency through three main programs: the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Federal Skilled Trades Program, and the Canadian Experience Class.

Candidates are selected based on a points system that considers factors like age, education, work experience, and language skills. The highest-ranking candidates are invited to apply during regular draws.

From healthcare and STEM to trades, agriculture, and the newly added category: education, the updated categories focuses on filling labor shortages. Express Entry continues to prioritize applicants with skills in demand, making it a key tool for Canada to attract top talent and meet its economic needs.
