No. IRCC has paused new intake under the PGP. It is not accepting new interest-to-sponsor forms or issuing new invitations until further notice. Existing applications continue to be processed.
The PGP can allow eligible Canadian citizens and permanent residents to sponsor qualifying parents or grandparents for permanent residence. The program has historically used an invitation system because interest exceeds available spaces.
For an invited or existing case, the sponsor must meet the applicable status, age, residence, financial and sponsorship requirements. PGP has a specific income test using the relevant tax years and family-size calculation.
The Super Visa is a temporary residence option for eligible parents and grandparents. It can allow stays of up to 5 years at a time, subject to host-income, insurance, medical and visitor requirements. It is not permanent residence.
Argus can review an existing PGP application, assist with IRCC requests and sponsor documentation, assess changes affecting the file and advise on a Super Visa where temporary visits are the objective.
