Parents & Grandparents Program (PGP) 2023

[YVR123]

@Chintan.patel hi chintan just wanna ask you lets say if my wife co signing the appication and she previously did super visa for her parents thats means she sponsored someone in the past or did apply for visitor visa for her sister which was refused did they have to mention that in the application. its just rergards to the question some one ask you as below: *****If you have sponsored anyone previously, you must provide their information on the back page. Even if you co-sign to sponsor someone, you must provide their detail on back page....

Super visa is not considered a sponsorship because there is no undertaking. Her sister applied for visitor visa (even if your wife filled in the form for her). Your wife didn't APPLIED for a vistior visa for her sister. So no. there is no one that she sponsored previously. (unless her parents were already sponsored under PGP, or if she sponsored someone as a spouse before marrying you, NO)

Hi Chintan
Just another quick question, what about passport submission. Is it possible to submit passport from Canada as well?

Thanks in advance

The person if currently inside Canada when PR is approved will be doing a virtual landing via "portal". No need to submit physical passport from Canada.

Hello guys,

Regarding this
“Any dependant on file 18 years of age or older must also complete a separate IMM 5669, IMM 5406, IMM 5562 and if applicable, IMM 5476.”

The spouse (dependant), just fill out this form then sign, scan and upload it on the Principal applicants PR portal account? is that the right way

or is it included on the IMM008 online form
of the principal applicant? I just want to be sure im getting confused.

Thank you very much.

Hi,
Super visa and visitor visa are not considered as sponsorship. Those are temporary residency visas. If any type of Canadian visa refused for the current principle applicant and dependents - those need to be mention only.
In your case your wife does not sponsored anyone previously and does not have to mention visa refusal of her sister.

got it, just related question to that we got married here in canada and i was PR and she was not as she was student visa in canada and so i sponsored her to be PR in canada in in 2017..does that matter, do have to mentioned or it wont matter.

I don't think that needed to be mentioned. She is your spouse and her information is already part of this application.

Guys

I would like to double check the fees,

Sponsorship fee $75
Principal applicant $490
Right if permanent resident fee $515 x 2 (Applicant and Spouse)
Biometrics $170 x 2

Is it $2,335.00 total? Principal applicant and spouse

and also they had a biometrics earlier this year for their tourist visa, they do still need to get a new biometrics? how long does it valid?

Thank you

I agree with @YVR123.

You does not have to mention your previous sponsorship that you sponsored your spouse. It will be automatically calculated as you are going to show you are married and have a spouse.

on form 5768 Question 3 B) - You should not mention your previous sponsorship of your spouse. You have to mention your Spouse in Question 5. Alternatively if you want to mention your sponsorship of spouse - mention it in question 3 B) and write 0 in question 5. In short you will mention your spouse only at one place. Either 3 B) or 5.

$2335.00 is correct for Principal Applicant and Spouse. It is including Biometrics fee.

They have to get new Biometrics for PR.

Yes passport can be submitted within Canada. IRCC will provide you instruction when file is about to complete.
They may even don't ask for passport as your parent is in Canada, they will probably directly mail you COPR. That is what happened in 2021 and 2022 with applicants residing in Canada.

Thank you so much!
