00:46Canada raises cap for parents and grandparents program.
00:50In a significant policy shift, Canada has announced an increase in the cap for its parents and grandparents program for 2025,
01:02reversing earlier decisions to restrict applications.
01:06This change underscores Canada's commitment to family reunification,
01:23providing more families the opportunity to bring loved ones to the country permanently.
01:28Let's begin with increased cap for PGP applications.
01:35For 2025, the Canadian government has raised the acceptance threshold to 25,000 sponsorship applications
01:45for the parents and grandparents program.
01:49A notable rise from the previously announced cap of 15,000.
01:55This adjustment will include applications from both the 2024 and 2025 intakes,
02:02reflecting a dynamic response to the high demand for family reunification.
02:08Moving on to opportunity for previous applicants.
02:14Applicants who had submitted their interest to sponsor forms back in 2020,
02:20but did not receive an invitation to apply will now get another chance.
02:29This move offers a lifeline to numerous Canadian citizens and permanent residents
02:35who have been waiting to reunite with their parents and grandparents under the PGP.
02:41Next, we take a look at the overview of the SuperVisa program.
02:50Alongside the PGP, Canada offers the SuperVisa program,
02:54which allows parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents
02:59to visit for extended periods.
03:02With a validity of ten years and the possibility of staying up to five years at a time,
03:07the SuperVisa is an excellent alternative for families not covered under the PGP.
03:14Finally, we conclude with Conclusion.
03:19The expansion of the Parents and Grandparents program,
03:22coupled with the ongoing SuperVisa option,
03:24illustrates Canada's proactive approach to immigration reform aimed at enhancing family unity.
03:30These changes not only offer hope to thousands of families,
03:34but also reinforce Canada's reputation as a welcoming nation for immigrants.
03:39That's all from us.
