How to Bring Your Parents to Canada

Bringing your parents in Canada could be a dream for many families that want to find their loved ones in this country. There are many avenues through which parents can Sponsor them to live in Canada either temporarily or permanently. This blog looks at these options in detail, especially the PGP, the Super Visa and other temporary and permanent options. Also, about the assistance of Aptech Visa in this process, we will also speak.

Why do People bring their Parents to Canada?

Coming to Canada with your parents means taking care of them and your family and being there for each other to celebrate the joys of life. That is why Canada’s immigration programs provide this opportunity and are diverse enough to meet almost any need.

Options to Bring Your Parents to Canada

1. Parent and Grandparent program (PGP)

The PGP allows Canadian citizens and permanent residents to sponsor their parents or grandparents for permanent residency in Canada.

Key Features:

•       Status Granted: Permanent residency.

•       Wait Times: Application processing can take up to six years due to high demand and limited intake.

 

Eligibility Criteria:

•       You must be at least 18 years old.

•       You are a Canadian citizen, a permanent resident, or a registered Indian under the Indian Act residing in Canada.

•       You have had sufficient income for the three consecutive calendar years preceding this application.

• You must sign an undertaking to support your parents financially.

Application Process:

•       Submit the Interest to Sponsor form.

•       Receive an invitation to apply from IRCC.

Income Requirements (2024 Intake):

The minimum required income is based on your family size. For instance, if you have a family of four, you would need to show an income of $66,466 for the year 2023. This amount increases with the increase in family size.

Other Benefits:

•       Permanent residency allows full access to Canadian healthcare and other benefits for your parents.

•       Your parents can eventually apply for Canadian citizenship if eligible.

 Challenges:

•       There is uncertainty about being selected every given year with the lottery invitation system.

•       In instances of high demand, waiting could be extremely long, with fewer sponsorship opportunities.

2. Super Visa

This visa is goodwill for parents or grandparents who want to spend some time in Canada not as permanent resident but a temporary residents for a longer period than a standard visa allows.

Key Features :

•       Status Granted: Visitor status for up to five years per visit, with multiple entries over ten years

•       Wait Times : Usually, it is processed within three months.

Eligibility Criteria:

•       Your parents or grandparents should have a child or grandchild who is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident

•       They should have the minimum required income.

•       They must buy health insurance that covers at least 100,000 dollars for one year.

•       A medical examination and an invitation letter is necessary.

Income Requirements for Super Visa:

The income requirement is not much different from the PGP. For instance, the minimum gross income in the case of a family of four is $ 54,594.

Advantages:

•       Allows freedom for longer-term stays and does not have to be renewed as frequently.

•       Added security due to the required health insurance coverage.

•       No quota lottery; application acceptance is available any time of the year.

Key Considerations:

•       A temporary visa that does not provide a direct path to permanent residency.

•       Health insurance coverage may be expensive.

Other Options of Bringing Your Parents to Canada

Visitor Visa

If they are planning to visit for only up to 6 months they should apply for a visitor’s visa. This is ideal for family holiday get-togethers and any other occasion one may desire. This does not guarantee the provision of quarters for the long term though the application procedure is easier and faster.

Super Visa vs. PGP: Which Should You Choose?

Feature	Super Visa	PGP
Accessibility	Apply any time	Lottery-based invitation
Processing Time	Around 3 months	Up to 6 years
Stay Duration	5 years per visit	Unlimited (PR granted)
Health Insurance	Required	Not mandatory
