Your wife will sponsor you under the "Spousal program". Meaning just the spouse. If you have children already those can come under this program as well. But not the extended family. So no parents or siblings. Your mothers (you have more than 1?) and brothers cannot be included in the spousal...

It is very likely it will happen in the first half of 2021. "Lots" of people. How many? I doubt it will go from 204,000 to 300,000. Probably maybe another 20-30k more at most if even at all. What is fair? I prefer not to argue on the fairness bit. Because if you use that then lottery is the...

Are you a PR yourself? Are you sponsoring using PGP?

Awesome work! Thanks! Ok good to know IRCC has already accounted for those cases and invited more. Excellent!

But the next time is like in 2-3 months. Don't think there will be that many more. So probably chances are going to be around 10%! Double of what this round was.

That one is ok. It happens. I am sure many people get PR and never actually move to Canada to.

10,000/204,000 = 4.9% So was not too bad chances. They will triple spots for next draw. So 15%! Awesome! Good luck everyone! All the best!

oh......I guess that's it then! Good luck to everyone! Hopefully you are lucky that you were selected but still waiting for the invite!

This system has been around since 2017. Already tried and tested. No lawsuits. Yes we went to the government to let them know we felt it is unfair and bad to trivialize PGP to a lottery game. Government actually DID LISTEN! They changed to a First In First Out (FIFO) system which was first...

Think of the emails notifying you of invitation as TRUE POSITIVES. Not having an email invite could be a FALSE NEGATIVE. Until the tool comes out and you can check for a TRUE NEGATIVE just keep hoping that you could have a FALSE POSITIVE at the moment. Be hopeful!

Don't give up hope. That is what the system wants you to do. By giving up you give others a slightly better chance. Why do it? Keep trying. There are many many many people who are first time applicants and got it. You might want to contact them and get some support. Hear their positives...

In that article it asks that people still keep checking their emails. So I think they might still be sending invitations, Until the tool to check if you were selected or not is up should still not give up hope! All invitations for the 2020 Parents and Grandparents Program have now been sent...

You might get rejected and lose your application fee.

I dont think they are fraudulent. They just didnt know. It is a misunderstanding. The rules are not clear. And emphasis is on the lottery rather than eligibility. CERB is different. There was no lottery involved. And it was giving out money. For PGP it is deemed trivial hence lottery system...

All invitations for the 2020 Parents and Grandparents Program have now been sent Ottawa, January 11, 2021—Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has now finished sending invitations to apply for the 2020 Parents and Grandparents Program. All interested potential sponsors who were...

If they start giving our universal income I am going to stop working just like everyone else. Oops I forgot those PGP applicants have to maintain their income levels till parents land. So that's where we will get money to pay for the income programs! Woo hoo!

The government is actually good. They are giving people money. They are even talking about having universal income in future. That is truly Canadian! :D

But that is so un-Canadian!

They should put the fee into a pool. And then for next PGP lotteries also include cash prizes for winners paying out from the pool of application fees from people who didn't qualify. I am just kidding and being creative with the whole lottery thing. LOL!

Let the accountants work that out.
