Canada is on track to welcome a whopping 28,667 permanent residents under the Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP) by the end of this year – which is more than double last year’s total. Within the first nine months alone, 21,500 individuals have been able to move closer to their relatives in Canada. That would mean 16,927 additional parents and grandparents reuniting with their loved ones in Canada this year alone – a whopping 144.2% more than the 11,740 who came under the PGP last year.
