Hello Everyone, i received my letter to sponsor my parent last week Sept. 23rd.
My parents passport has expired and getting a new passport in lest and 60 days may not be possible for my country as there is a lot of backlog.
can i used the expired passport to apply for the PGS and update the application once i get the new passport? Please advice.
Thanks in advance

Hi, we just got the invitation email (parent sponsorship). Does this mean, as long as we submit a completed application, our parent is going to be accepted to permanent residence?
we are on the same situation. I was thinking that maybe we can still submit the old passport for the requirements then update it later. Hope someone can give us clarification on this.
No. Take a look at the application guide.
They need to pass medical, crimial and background check. IRCC will also look at the sponsor's income. (and likely RO as eligibility)
I did call immigration and explained the situation but the lady said they normally advice using a valid document to apply but if that is not possible you can use the expired document and include explanation why you used the expired document.
I told her in the website for PGS, Frequently ask question, there is this statement "We accept expired documents. You don’t need to renew your document to complete the interest to sponsor form or to submit your sponsorship application, if you’re invited to apply. "
I am thinking base on this we can use the expired passport to apply before the 60 days runs out
That seems to be the only option. You can't really wait for the new passport. You need to get the application in before 60 days deadline.
I think explanation letter is good for most things that don't fit the norm.
I am a PR (from 2018 June) in Canada and I am sponsoring my wife in India. I am hoping that she will get PR at the end of this year.
I have a question. Can I sponsor my parents through parents/grandparents sponsorship program while my spouse(wife) sponsorship application is in progress ? I heard I need to wait for 5 years. Is there anything like that ?

You can sponsor them all at the same time as long as your income meet the required level.
Did you get picked from the lottery?
No. I am just checking if I am eligible. Do you know when the invitation will open again ?
They are just sending invites to the 2021 PGP sponsorship starting last week. So 2022 would be the next one. No one knows when and how they want to handle PGP 2022. It's unlikely the PGP 2022 will happen in Jan 2022.
