Bring Your Parents and Grandparents to Canada Permanently


Apply for Family Sponsorship with Cougar Immigration

Want your parents or grandparents to live with you in Canada permanently? The Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship Program (PGP) allows Canadian citizens and permanent residents to sponsor their loved ones for permanent residency and eventually, Canadian citizenship.

At Cougar Immigration, we help you navigate this competitive and highly detailed process with confidence and care.

 

What is the Parents & Grandparents Sponsorship Program?

The PGP is a family reunification program by IRCC that allows eligible Canadians to sponsor their:

  • Biological or adoptive parents
  • Grandparents
  • In some cases, step-parents (if legally married to the biological parent)

Once approved, your parents or grandparents become permanent residents of Canada, with access to healthcare, social benefits, and eventually the option to apply for citizenship.

 

Who Can Apply?

To be eligible to sponsor under the PGP, you must:

  • Be 18 years or older
  • Be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident
  • Reside in Canada at the time of application
  • Meet the Minimum Necessary Income (MNI) for 3 consecutive years prior to applying
  • Sign a 20-year sponsorship undertaking (10 years for Quebec residents)
  • Be selected in IRCC’s Interest to Sponsor lottery system (when open)

Cougar Immigration helps you prepare in advance—even before the intake period opens—so your file is ready when you’re invited to apply.

 

How Cougar Immigration Supports You

Sponsoring parents or grandparents involves financial evaluations, documentation, and strict timelines. We guide you through the entire process:

  • Income Assessment: We verify whether you meet the MNI based on family size and tax returns
  • Interest to Sponsor Submission: We help you register and prepare for the IRCC lottery system
  • Full Application Preparation: We compile all required documents—identity, relationship, financials, and forms
  • IRCC Liaison: We manage your case communication and track updates from start to final approval
  • Post-Arrival Support: We assist with PR card processing, provincial health coverage, and more

If you are not selected in the PGP draw, we also help you explore the Super Visa as an alternative.
