New Technical Changes in Canadian Immigration
Parents and Grandparents Programme 2023
The Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP) application intake was announced by IRCC last month. This program allows applicants to sponsor their grandparents or parents for immigration to Canada.
In the past, IRCC determined which grandparents and parents would be eligible for a visa. It is not yet known if IRCC will continue this pattern.
In 2021, IRCC hosted a PGP that invited 30,000 Canadians to submit their applications to sponsors. To compensate for the 2020 lower number, last year’s figure was slightly higher. The onset of the pandemic meant that IRCC could only allow 10,000 sponsors to apply to the PGP in 2020.
2021 Census Report
Statistics Canada collects data every year from all Canadians to better understand the way Canadians live. The new census data will reveal the number of Canadian immigrants, their choice of where to settle, the languages they speak and the number of people they share it with. CIC reported that this will influence the future outlook of immigration initiatives such as the immigration level plan.
The data on immigration are released every five years. It was last published in October 2017.
This is not all. Another important development is that the entry CRS score could drop below 500 this month.
The minimum CRS has steadily decreased with each draw since July 6, when the program was resumed. In the first five draws, there were declines of 8 to 9 points. The two most recent draws, September 14 and 28, saw a decrease of 6 points each. This trend could continue and the score could fall below 500 for an all-program drawing for the first time since December 23, 2020, when the CRS score stood at 468.
