2023 intake
You can sponsor your parents and grandparents to become permanent residents of Canada if
- you submitted the interest to sponsor form in 2020
- you’re invited to apply for the 2023 intake
Between October 10 and 23, 2023, we’ll send 24,200 invitations to apply to potential sponsors. Our goal is to accept up to 15,000 complete applications.
If you’re invited to apply
You must submit 2 applications:
- the sponsorship application
- the permanent residence application
If we approve both applications, you’ll sign an agreement called an undertaking that starts on the day the person you’re sponsoring (and their family members, if this applies) becomes a permanent resident of Canada. This agreement is discussed under Who is eligible to sponsor a parent or grandparent.
