IRCC has officially completed the 2022 Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP) lottery. After conducting draws between October 12th and 20th, IRCC sent out 23,100 invitations to apply for Permanent Residency. What is the PGP? The PGP is a lottery-based program in which Canadian citizens and permanent residents can sponsor their parents and grandparents for permanent residency. A person is eligible to sponsor their parents and grandparents through the PGP if they are; At least 18 years old; Submitted the interest to sponsor form on IRCC’s website within IRCC’s deadline; Lives in Canada; Is a citizen or a permanent resident; and Meets the minimum income requirement. The 2022 PGP Like the previous year, IRCC has only issued invitations for sponsors who submitted through IRCC’s website back in the autumn of 2020. Compared to other applications for permanent residency, the PGP remains the most popular program within IRCC. In October and November of 2020, IRCC received over 200,000 interest to sponsor forms. The lottery-based system to bring parental and grandparents to Canada remains controversial, but as of this writing the government hasn’t signaled any intention to revisit the program.

Arjun Vegesna Absolutely delighted with John from this firm with the way he counselled with suitable options available for me on migration to Canada, documentation submissions, query resolutions, visa processing and continued personal support and follow up until the last step. Would recommend this firm for anybody blindly looking for immigration help. They would guide you with complete transparency and professionalism.
Michael Freeman The team at Borders - specifically Devika and Jenny - were an extraordinary support in navigating the Permanent Residency process. They were responsive and easily available, and incredibly detailed and thorough in their work. I strongly recommend them for anyone navigating the immigration process, and feel so grateful for their expertise and kindness that made a tricky process feel smooth.

Charanjit singh I and my family want to express our sincere thanks and gratitude to Devika, John and the team at Borders Law firm for assisting us with the PRTD application for my mother at a time when most processing was closed due to lockdowns. They also worked proactively with us to establish a good strategy with back up plans which gave us sufficient information and assurance. Very responsive and forthcoming with information. Proactive in processing but at the same time they put enough time in the application and the supporting details to have high quality of the application. As a result our application was processed in 1 go at a time when it was critical and sensitive time for the family. Thank you again.
