Suspension of Parent and Grandparent Sponsorship Program - December 30, 2019

The Federal Government announced on December 30, 2019, that they have suspended the Intake Process for those eligible Canadian citizens or Permanent Residents seeking to apply to sponsor their Parents or Grandparents to Canada. 

This announcement comes just days before the sponsorship Program was due to reopen for the 2020 Intake Process, and will be a cause of concern for interested candidates seeking to reunite with family members given that no further information has been provided about when it is expected the Intake process for the Program will reopen. 

The Intake process for this particular Visa has changed a number of times in the last few years with the “lottery” process first  being replaced by the old “First Come, first Served” process just last year.
