Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Is there a cap on how many people can apply under the PGP?

Yes. IRCC accepts a limited number of applications each year through an invitation-based lottery system.

You must meet the Minimum Necessary Income (MNI) for 3 consecutive years prior to applying, which varies based on family size.

No. You can only sponsor your own biological or adopted parents and grandparents.

It typically takes 20–24 months, depending on case complexity and IRCC workload.

You can reapply in the next intake period, or consider the Super Visa as an alternative.
