Parents & Grandparents Program(PGP) 2024

I called the IRCC office 3 times. They told me there was no webform listed or showing in my file.

I am sorry. I know it is hard. It is just a suggestion l. Can their case be moved to Canada or may be you can request for extension of the passports . I think the consulate might agree. You can call IRCc if the agent can submit the webform?

Hello everyone,

Today, I have got an email for Pr Portal confirmation where IRCC has asked the following information:


Original entry date (YYYY/MM/DD):
Date of last time you entered Canada (YYYY/MM/DD):

Can someone please help what should I enter in original entry date?? Will it be the date when they came entered on super visa or their initial entry to Canada which was on tourist visa?

I will appreciate the help

Original entry date - This is the date of your very first entry into Canada regardless of purpose of visit (work, visitor, etc.)
Date of last time you entered Canada - self explanatory - date of the most recent entry into Canada

Hello Everyone
A quick query. My mother got her P1 email asking her current location and expected return time. We applied from Canada but she is currently in India.
I would be replying to the email mentioning she would be returning in 3 months. Would her application be paused for 3 months in this case?
Should I also submit a webform mentioning her current residence is changed now so that her application is not paused and can be processed from India.
Or the webform for change in address will only complicate things and should simply let the application pause for 3 months. Should just reply to P1 and wait.

Hello Everyone,

Question about biometrics. My mum got supervisa in 2024 and we received a letter from IRCC saying that the biometrics is valid for 10 years. I assumed that for the PGP, i dont need to book biometrics again. Is my assumption correct?

Incorrect. You will need to provide biometrics again for PGP application as any biometrics provided previously for any non-immigrant (visit, work) visa is not valid for PR applications.

I got invitation for my mother under PGP2025. I have a few questions and would really appreciate advise from experienced members. I found some of the information in the forum but i want to make sure I understood correctly!

1. I am filling the forms for my mother. I have selected translation required if called for interview. I have access to all my mother's emails etc. so I decided not to fill the unpaid representative form. Is the only reason to fill the representative form to be able to communicate with IRCC on behalf of the principal applicant?

2. My mother has always been a housewife. In that case, should I be listing all the activities and travel since the age of 18?

3. For an indian citizen, the national identity would be passport? There are fields for passport already so they are filled with the information. Should I repeat the same under national identity?

1. You will need to fill in the unpaid representative form as you are filling out the forms on her behalf and she is not doing it herself. You are acting as her representative. Having access to her emails does does not negate the fact that you are doing all the work on her behalf - be truthful

2. On the resume list "From Date" (date she turned 18) - "Current Date" - "House Wife": describe her activities as a house wife and child rearing activities in the resume

3. If your mother has an identity document issued by UIDAI - Aadhar list this as the national ID document; if she does not have one issued leave it blank and add a letter of explanation that she has never applied for one and never been issued one
