The Parent and Grandparent Sponsorship Program (PGP) and the Super Visa Program are two pathways available to Canadian citizens and permanent residents who wish to bring their parents and grandparents to Canada. These programs offer a unique opportunity to reunite families and ensure that loved ones can enjoy the benefits of living in Canada.

Parent and Grandparent Sponsorship Program (PGP)

The Parent and Grandparent Sponsorship Program (PGP) allows Canadian citizens and permanent residents to sponsor their parents or grandparents for permanent residency in Canada. This program is designed to facilitate family reunification and to provide a pathway for parents and grandparents to become permanent residents. Once approved, sponsored parents and grandparents receive permanent resident status, which grants them the right to live and work anywhere in Canada without any restrictions on location, time, or sector.

As permanent residents, they will also have access to publicly-funded health care services and various other benefits available to Canadian residents. This includes health insurance, public schooling, and social services, which contribute to a high quality of life in Canada. Furthermore, after meeting residency requirements, sponsored parents and grandparents can apply for Canadian citizenship, thereby becoming fully integrated members of Canadian society.

Super Visa Program

The Super Visa Program is an alternative to the PGP for those who may not be eligible for permanent residency. This program allows parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents to visit Canada for extended periods. The Super Visa is a multiple-entry visa that permits visits of up to two years at a time, with the option to apply for extensions. Unlike the PGP, the Super Visa does not grant permanent residency but provides a long-term option for families to be together.

The Super Visa Program requires proof of sufficient financial support from the Canadian sponsor, as well as medical insurance coverage for the duration of the stay. This program is ideal for those who wish to spend extended periods with their family in Canada but do not necessarily wish to move permanently.
