Most countries don’t allow any parent sponsorship with access to public healthcare and other benefits. The fact that you have the option to apply is actually very lucky.

I am blessed that I live in Canada and has this opportunity, the comment was more or so based on the lottery system. They could introduce some score based system or some eligibility checker beforehand, so ineligible people don't waste invites.

Anybody knows whether CIC is going to send out the invite throughout the day? Or just in the morning? So sick of checking my inbox every minute. Hope I will get picked this year, has been applying for over 5 years and still no luck =/

Do I need to update the CIC regarding the passport expiry in the webform? The passport which I had submitted in the initial sponsorship request form has expired. I will be submitting the PGP application with the new passport.

Finally got an invitation to sponsor my parents yesterday after 10 years of waiting. Was such a bittersweet moment.

So now getting ready to file. I see the application is to be filed by parents but they are in India with no internet access.

I thought I could file from here as their authorized representative. But When i try to sign up as a representative, it asks for IRCC's membership ID#

I am not an immigration consultant. Can I be their authorized representative ?

many who have just qualified to sponsor are complaining that it’s unfair that they can’t apply. The reality is that many have been waiting 5-10 years applying every year and just got selected. IRCC should clarify on their website that although you may qualify to apply for PGP generally it takes multiple years to get selected if not much longer So to expect that it will be closer to a 7- 10 year process with the increased processing times.

Definatly You can filled form here. But they need to sign the form. Read the bold font. This might help you.


Using an immigration representative


If you want to appoint someone to do business with IRCC on your behalf, you must

An immigration representative (an immigration consultant or lawyer) can give you advice and help you with your application for a fee, but they can’t

  • open a portal account on your behalf
  • electronically sign the application for you
  • sign into the portal using your username and password
A representative can fill out forms and communicate with IRCC on your behalf through their own account. They can also

  • help you prepare the supporting documents you need to upload
  • answer questions about the forms
After you read the declaration, you must be the one who types your name and clicks the “submit” button. This is the legal requirement for your application to be considered “signed,” according to Canada’s immigration law.

Helping your parents and grandparents with their application
You have to ask permission and provide the right forms if you want to
  • prepare or help prepare your parents’ and grandparents’ application and communicate with IRCC on their behalf
  • check on their application status
