Only PGP is affected due to COVID-19, Express entry is still going on.

Invitations to apply for Canadian permanent residence were issued to Canadian Experience Class program candidates with Comprehensive Ranking Scores (CRS) as low as 467 in a new Express Entry draw held March 23, 2020.

It shows they don't need PGP this year.

Can anyone explain this statement please.

It is important to note that the temporary deferral of the launch of the 2020 call for applications is not expected to impact when parents and grandparents will arrive in our country, and that processing of these applications continues.

Not sure what is confusing. When parents arrive will not be impacted by delaying the PGP2020 announcement. Honestly I think they maybe slightly delayed but we are talking a few months. IRCC is trying to prevent people complaining that the delay is unfair. CIC is saying the delay isn’t going to impact when parents will eventually arrive so there is no need to complain, send emails, call, etc.

Thanks for replying. The confusion was "impact on when parents and grandparents will arrive".
Its actually unfair to delay due to COVID-19 when other stream are open and IRCC is conducting draws.
In Canada COVID-19 cases are still increasing each and every day. This will get worst in future as there is still no vaccine and further delay will take this program closer to 2021 where another 100000 applicants will join the existing 100000 applicants from 2020. This will collapse the program. I took # of applicants as stated by many sources in the past.
IRCC COVID -19 Faqs states IRCC will continue to accept applicantions and people will have more time to submit documents.

Lawsuit was settled last year in May or June and government wasted time as they looking for new government to figure out this program after elections. Then new minority government put a pause on program and now delayed it further due to COVID-19.

They should have at least revealed how the process will look like and should have utilized this time in taking feedbacks and improving further.

I read this as referring to people who have already applied under the 2019 programor earlier. In other words, for individuals who have already applied, application processing will continue.

That is also how I understood it.

It isn't unfair. PGP was delayed until April for other reasons and then COVID-19 happened. The government has higher priorities now in terms of dealing with the pandemic. That is reality.

That pesky pandemic coming along , causing unemployment and killing ten's of thousands of people . Some of those being young people. I'm sure this has been a huge inconvenience too some, but this too shall pass and you can get your application in

PGP tends to be very low on the priority list when it comes to IRCC because most parents don’t arrive in Canada and work and they tend to use resources. Immigration programs are not guaranteed. They can always be altered. We have to wait until this tax year so hopefully people know whether they meet LICO before applying. All you can do is wait and hope you get selected this year.

Thanks for replying. I understand what people all over the world are going through. Unemployment at present is going up. I pray that things go back to normal soon. Like others, COVID-19 is affecting me as well with reduced working hours.

My wife and I are permanent residents of canada, her parents are here on work permits(my father in law working as a drywall installer and taper and my mother in law with an open work permit) they still have WP for another year and my father in law has major problems with his employer... he's not paid for hours he work and they are just brutal in every way to him(if I would tell you all the stories you wouldn't believe me) First question is where can we report his case coz this things are just brutal how they treating him at work,and what would happen if we report them(I have all the proves that they are really bad to him and not paying him for the time he worked) He is a really hard working person and I dont want governmentto send him back if we report his company? And another is are there any words when will they starts with pgp for this year. We would sponsor them for PR think we are okay money wise $120K last year and 2019 I think around 100K? Is that enough? Will we have random pool this year for pgp or first comes first serve and do we know if they going to announce date or it's going to be just open one day?

Thank you!

Yes you can report his employer. Google is always a great way to get answers. https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-development/services/foreign-workers/fraud.html
How long have you been in Canada with your wife? In the past you require 3 years of a certain income before you qualify except in Quebec and we have no idea what changes will be made this year but it is unlikely to be FIFO. No idea when the program will be announced either.

Hey thanks for the answer, I did basically know where to report but was also wondering did anyone had that kind of crazy situation. We have been to canada for 5years now so I can provide 5years, now with 2019 6years NOA... that should be okay I guess.

Yes there have been some reports of employers keeping foreign workers in awful conditions and not paying them. I am sure there have been less sever situations. As I said you will have to see if you qualify once a PGP2030 is released and whether you get selected.
