Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is set to invite 30,000 people to sponsor their parents or grandparents for permanent residence in Canada. To be eligible, the sponsor would have had to submit an expression of interest through the IRCC website in the Fall of 2020. IRCC invited 10,000 people from the pool in late 2020 and is now ready to invite an additional 30,000 people from the same pool. Invitations will be sent out during a two week period beginning the week of September 10. Unfortunately for people who are interested in sponsoring for the first time, there will be no opportunity to submit a new expression of interest in 2021. However, IRCC should start accepting new expressions of interest again in 2022. If you did submit an expression of interest in 2020, make sure you have your confirmation number and watch your inbox for an invitation beginning September 10.
