Ottawa, July 16, 2025—As announced earlier in 2025, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will accept up to 10,000 complete applications for sponsorship under the Parents and Grandparents Program this year. Starting on July 28, 2025, and over the course of approximately two weeks, IRCC will send invitations to apply to interested potential sponsors.

Anyone who submitted an interest to sponsor form in 2020 but has not yet received an invitation to apply is encouraged to check the email account they provided in 2020. They should make sure to check their junk and spam folders.

Hi - I got an invitation after 7 years. Really appreciate if if someone can help to provide clarity on these questions.

1. Do Sponsors need to create Account on PR Portal or Main Applicant
2. I don’t know whose name I put as main applicant in 2020, Can I change Main applicant to Mom
3. Do we need to create separate accounts on PR portal right - one for my mother and another for my father?
4. My parents don't use the computer and online forms, Can i prepare and submit application for my parents.
