Parents & Grandparents Program (PGP) 2023

[Chintan.patel]

Hello everyone,

I have just successfully uploaded my parents' PR application on the portal. However, I have realized that I made two mistakes on form IMM 5669. The first mistake is that I filled in my grandmother's place of birth incorrectly, and the second is that I mistakenly used her last name before marriage for my maternal grandmother's given name. Now, I am quite worried that they might return or refuse my application. I would greatly appreciate any help or advice from anyone.

Thank you.

Are you applying for your grandparents? if yes, then IRCC will ask you to refill that form. But if you are applying for your parent's then IRCC may not ask furthermore. They will accept whatever you have submitted.

Hello everyone,

I would to ask for your assistance for the principal applicant, both parents are deceased is the applicant still needs to provide the birth certificate and death certificate for both?

Second, When I submit my intention to PGP last 2020, My address is different. How do I change it? submit my application first before I can change my address? in the application form I already wrote down the new address is that correct?

Thank you very much in advance.

Not sure what is your exact first question is but if you are applying for your parents - you DON'T need to provide any birth or death certificates, Just provide your birth certificate. But if you are applying for your grandparents - you have to provide your parent's plus your birth certificate.

Second - You just need to provide current address where you are living. Don't put your old address whatever you submitted in 2020. It is obvious that someone may more to different place between last 3 years and IRCC won't question on that.

Hi Everyone,

We need a clear understanding of the most common and repetitive questions regarding BIRTH CERTIFICATE and DEATH CERTIFICATE.

Question - I am a sponsor and I am applying for my parents. Should I provide my parent's birth certificates?
Answer - NO. You don't have to provide your parent's birth certificates. You must provide your parent's Marriage certificate and your(sponsor's) birth certificate.

Question - I am a sponsor and I am applying for my grandparents. Should I provide my parents and grandparent's birth certificates?
Answer - You don't have to provide your grandparent's birth certificates. You must provide your grandparent's Marriage certificate, your parent's birth certificate, Marriage certificate, and your(sponsor's) birth certificate.

In any circumstances, you don't have to provide any DEATH CERTIFICATE to IRCC unless they specifically ask you.

Hope this makes sense!

First question has been answered. I don't see ANYWHERE that PA's birth certificate or PA's parents' deaht certifcate required on document checklist.
Second, IRCC may ask you for proof of moving from original address to your new address. Use your current address and attach a letter of expliantion with proof of address change (form to changing address for provincial IDs or mail forwarding request after you moved)

Hi everyone I hope someone can help me my mom do not have birth certificate what can I do in this case what are the other documents I can upload

Are you sponsoring your grand parents ? If answer is NO, then no need of your parents birth certificate.

If you are sponsoring your grand parents, and No birth certificate of your mother : you need to find a document which shows their relationship and a letter of explanation.

My parents got married long time ago 70's in India and does not have marriage certificate and the application asks for one. Is notary or affidavit fine instead? Has anyone submitted affidavit instead of marriage certificate?

They might be able to register their marriage now and obtain the marriage certificate. my parents married in 1980's and they got marriage certificated in 2021 when they needed for their PR file.

At this point, they don't ask for documents to prove that the school and record of employments are true, you sort of just have to list them down.. Now, will they ask that in the future? I don't know.

The document checklist is form IMM 5771
