Canadian government launches new process for parents, grandparents sponsorship, fails on first try
The federal government launched a new online intake process for the sponsorship of parents and grandparents (PGP) at noon Eastern time on January 28th. In less than 11 minutes of being online and 27,000 “interest to sponsor” online forms signed and submitted, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) closed the site, leaving a number of Canadians hoping to avail of the program frustrated.
