The Canadian government recently announced it is indefinitely pausing new permanent residency sponsorship applications for parents and grandparents.
Up until the pause, a limited number of qualifying Canadian citizens and permanent residents were able to apply to bring a parent or grandparent to Canada. Now the only option is a 10 year super visa which only allows them to stay in Canada for up to five years at a time.
The pause is part of the federal government’s broader push to reduce permanent immigration by 20 per cent.
