Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has announced its 2025 Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP) will exclusively process applications from the existing 2020 pool, aiming to accept 10,000 complete applications. While processing times remain 24 months for most of Canada, Quebec-bound applications face longer 48-month wait times due to limited admission targets. The decision aligns with reduced immigration targets in the 2025-2027 Immigration Levels Plan, though the super visa option offers extended family visits of up to 5 years.
