Parents & Grandparents Program(PGP) 2022

[dpatel08]

Hi all, I submitted my father( windowed) application today( 2 days before the last date). We did sign all the forms electronically. But my fathers signatures since he signed in Hindi(on laptop) , doesn’t exactly matching with passport signature. Is that gonna be a problem?

I dont think it will be a big deal .

URGENT QUESTION. PLEASE HELP!

On the 2020 form, We only mentioned the mother on the form. Now we want to include father as well. So both parents. It says clearly we can do so, but what is confusing is that "We dont accept multiple applications. Do I now have to send them separately? So one application for mother and a separate one for father? On the actual application, I have the father as the dependent...I thought that makes sense as opposed to doing another application, where I have to again put the mother as the principal applicant.

On the interest to sponsor form I only mentioned one parent. Can I now apply to sponsor them both?
You can apply to sponsor both parents (or both grandparents) under the same confirmation number if

• you were invited and
• you meet the income cut-off needed to sponsor both of them

You should also include a letter explaining why you’re sending applications for both your parents or grandparents when only one was on your interest to sponsor form.
We don’t accept multiple applications in one package. If you’re sending more than one application, you need to send them separately.
Note, if you are applying to sponsor parents and grandparents, send a separate application package for parents and for grandparents.

My understanding here is .. multiple applications = applications for parents + application for grandparent. If you are invited to apply for parents and grandparents (separately, up to three invitations) you need to have the same number of application .. one application for mother/father/dependent(s), one application for maternal grandfather/maternal grandmother/dependent(s) and one application for paternal grandfather/paternal grandmother/dependents.

Note

• if you are invited to apply for parents, you cannot sponsor your grandparent or vice versa
• your grand parents cannot be included as dependent of your mother or father in the application to sponsor your parents or vice versa

FYI... You do not need separate invitations to apply for parents and grandparents.
If you are invited, you can apply for all (parents, paternal and maternal grandparents) on the same invitation (provided you meet the income requirements).

However you need to submit separate applications for each (they cant be dependents on each other application).
One for Parents
One for Paternal Grandparents
One for Maternal Grandparents

Good Morning everyone. My Half sister is 22 and still studying. Is she still considered dependent of my father and be counted as dependent or no? Thank you

No. It is under 22 so once you turn 22 you are not longer a dependant.

After submitting online application we will see any update or only 1 email for application acknowledgement?

Did you do the bio metric as well ? I though when you extend stay they dont ask to get medical done again ? May be i am wrong .

He did the biometric already before he came to Canada. They requested medical if you stay more than 6 months of visitor status.

can i use his medical to his application to PGP?

Hi
Last I heard that when an application/applications submitted for PGP it took 2-3years, how much time is expected for the applications to be processed this time?

I received an email yesterday at 11.22 pm indicating missing documents.
One of which is asking about resume of the principal applicant. Although I submitted the one having all the information since the age of 18. I am not sure why it was not accepted.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

canyon please share the resume format please?

My father is currently in Canada. I applied his extension for the visitor record. They request him to do the Medical. I scheduled him for Medical on January. We applied his PGP last month (November 2022) . No update yet. It is possible to use the upcoming Medical to his PGP application as well? Anyone knows same situation like this?

I know i read somewhere that you can use it within 5 years
