The Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP) in Canada saw a 4.2% rise in April, reflecting its continued upward trend, according to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). April welcomed 2,100 new permanent residents under PGP, an increase from previous months. The first four months of 2024 saw 7,910 new arrivals, down 12.8% from the same period last year. Ontario led with 3,870 new residents, while Quebec experienced the highest percentage increase. With Canada aiming for higher overall immigration targets, PGP numbers are expected to grow in the coming years.
