Canadian citizens together with permanent residents have the ability to sponsor their parents or grandparents through the Parent and Grandparent Program (PGP). This method enables parents to acquire Canadian permanent residency status. The sponsors need to surpass specific income levels while making a 20-year commitment to provide financial support to their family members. The Parent and Grandparent Program (PGP) closes its intake process at times so parents can opt for Super Visa applications which grant five-year stays in Canada at a time.
