Parents & Grandparents Program(PGP) 2024

[wish2024]

Hello, I have a situation and read all the posts in the thread but didn't find anything relevant so posting here for any expert advice.
I submitted the request to sponsor in 2020 and my confirmation number is selected and invited to apply this year however I didn't get any invitation email from CIC. I checked online tool on May 31st where they posted all the invited confirmation numbers and my confirmation number shows as invited to apply.

The email address which was used on interest to sponsor form back in 2020 is no longer active - my immigration lawyer had filed that for me and she is retired now so that mail box is not active anymore. I had reached out IRCC last year asking them to update the email address on file and they confirmed back mentioning email address is updated - yet I didn't get invitation letter on the updated email address.

I checked my mail and I don't have anything there too

I called IRCC three times asking if they can send an invitation letter to me on my recent email but agents on the call mentioned they don't have authority do access my file. So I tried to send my enquiry using "Find your lost Confirmation number" web form as advised on IRCC website and due to technical issue on their side, upon submission - form got me error mentioning I am not able to submit my enquiry. I tired that almost for one week and form is still giving me error.

Sorry for the long story here but I have two questions:

1 - Do I really need Invitation letter to apply OR online tool mentioning that I am invited to apply is more than enough and I can just go ahead and file my application - wondering if the application would be rejected as I don't have the invitation letter?
2 - If it is necessary than how do I get invitation letter now OR how do I contact CIC about this?

I am afraid I am losing time to complete my application so really appreciate any guidance here.
Thanks a lot!

Is it CAD 2585 or 2665?

Hello everyone,

just reposting my query to see if anyone can provide insights:

• Does use of representative 5476 form needs to be signed by both PA and accompanying dependent spouse or just by PA?
• Do we need separate use of representative forms 5476 for PA and spouse?
• Do we also need to add travel in personal history (background declaration form 5669) in addition to employment and education ?
• Address history requires all addresses for past 10 years. My parents visited canada twice and lived with me for 6 months each. Do i need to provide address where parents lived in Canada during previous visits ?
• Did anyone encounter an issue while electronically signing 5768 financial evaluation form?

1)My dad had a first wife that passed away. The checklist mentions that we must upload a death certificate. We are thinking of obtaining the certificate from from the hospital that she passed away in. Would that work? Or would we need an official govt certificate?

2) the checklist also mentions “if the principle applicant was previously married”
a) provide given/family names of previous spouse
b) the length of time they were together.

does this answer information have to be provided in word doc and then uploaded? Or is it sufficient that’s it’s captured already in the generic application form?

Hello All,

Since i want to sponser my parents

Which option should i choose ?https://prson-srpel.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/login or https://prson-srpel.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/rep/login ?

For the 2024 intake, you and the parents and grandparents you want to sponsor must submit a complete application online through the Permanent Residence Portal (https://prson-srpel.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/login). The application must be submitted by the principal applicant (your parent or grandparent) or by a paid authorized representative on their behalf. If a paid authorized representative is submitting the application online on behalf of the principal applicant, the paid authorized representative must sign in to their Representative Permanent Residence Portal account to do so (https://prson-srpel.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/rep/login).

Hello, if anyone could help in the situation, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Because I only meet income requirements for a family size of 3 including myself, and I'll be sponsoring my mom and dad.
However, I'm also thinking to apply a supervisa separately for my grand mother, since I cannot meet the income requirements for a family size of 4 for the last three years to sponsor her too.
Can any one confirm if it will be okay to have a separate application for my grandmother, to be submitted later after applying the sponsorship for my parents and keeping the family size 3?
