Permanent Residency for Your Whole Family
The Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP) allows Canadian citizens and permanent residents to sponsor their parents and grandparents for permanent residence. Intake is limited and conducted annually — spots fill within hours. We prepare you before the intake opens and manage your complete application once invited. While you wait for PGP, we also advise on the Super Visa as a faster interim option.
