Family Reunification
Throughout the campaign, the Liberals pledged to make family reunification a more open and quicker process. The Liberal platform includes measures to:
Nearly double the budget for family class immigration processing in order to reduce processing times.
Double the application intake cap for the Parent and Grandparent Program, from 5,000 to 10,000.
Remove the ‘conditional’ stipulation from the permanent resident status of spouses, common-law or conjugal partners in a relationship of two years or less with their sponsor and who have no children in common with their sponsor at the time they submit their sponsorship application, as is currently the case.
Restore the maximum age for dependents back to under 22, instead of under 19.
