Parents & Grandparents Program (PGP) 2023
- Thread starter CEC_1304
- Start date
Congratulations on your invitation to apply. You really do not need a co-signer if your last 3 years income threshold is sufficient. Therefore, go ahead and complete the application as a single sponsor of your parents. Good luck!
Bump!
I'm getting worried I did something wrong or that the application was not submitted successfully.
I think it should be fine and it's even better as less information to fill and probably less time for the Immigration Officer to evaluate the sponsor eligibility because it's just only you.
you should have used this portal for application. Sign in | Permanent Residence Portal (cic.gc.ca) if you have submitted all the documents and paid the fees. you should have received email about application within 24 hours.
Thank you very much for that link.
I do see the application now! However, I see date submitted as December 23rd, instead of December 22 when I submitted it. No email was received. Should I give them a call or just wait?
try to link your application to GCKEY account. you might have to create account if not already created. Also you can use webform to submit your inquiry. you will receive their communication.
@YVR123 @scylla i read this question by someone below that they added co signer at the time of the interest submission on oct 2020.... i do not see any co signer option for us when we submitted the interest in oct 2020 and when submitted the application we do add co signer now to meet the income...does it matter? this was the question by some below---
Question about co-signer
Hi All
I got the invite yesterday for the 2024 PGP category and I have a question about the co-signer.
when I filled the interest to sponsor form in 2020, i added my wife as a co-signer. but she not working any more now from the last one year.
My income alone is sufficient enough to meet the income requirements for 2023, 2022, 2021. So when i submit the application is it ok, if i can just be a single sponsor without my wife since in any case her income last year was nil so it wont make any difference. Please suggest,
regards

How do you link the application with GCkey? Could we link the application on GCKEY with the application status show submitted?
A webform was sent asking if we can link in GCkey, They replied that when application is opened(or in procesing) only then it can be linked.
December submission and still waiting. No emails yet. Starting to get worried.
please create GCKey account. follow the instruction as mentioned in the link your application. you need basic info about principal applicant such as UCI, date of birth, passport number etc. try it.
You can have no co-signer in the application.
My thought is that having a co-signer is a good fallback even though she is not working now.
PGP could take 1 year or 2 to process and who knows what can happening the future. Having your wife as the co-signer gives you the option in case something happens.
unless she doesn't agree to be one.
again, it's up to your family decision.
sorry seems like i did not put it properly as it gets confusing.... some one said they submit the interest in oct 2020 they submit the co signer info along with it....i do not see any info regarding that...you wanna throw some light on it, do we had to submit co signer info at the time of submitting interest in OCT 2020 ...coz i dont think there was any option for that at that time or we can add co signer at the time of the submitting the actual application after the invite coz thats what i did as i add co signer after the invite when submit actual pgp app on portal.

Oh. I thought you were asking that Question. You can add co-signer when you submit the actual application. (doesn't matter if that's mentioned/possible to mention in the interest to sponsor form)
