Parents and Grandparents to benefit from Canada's multiple entry visa
As
assured, at the beginning of this year, the government restarted the Parents
and Grandparents program to accept the 5000 new applications. So far 5,000
complete applications were received by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC),
and a new intake of applications will be paused until next year. By the end of
this year, CIC expects another 20,000 Grandparents and Parents to Canada,
making a substantial improvement in wait times for the applicants.
The
Canadian government has a steady record of reuniting friends, families and
loved ones and has taken steps to reduce backlogs, and improve processing time.
Action Plan was launched in the year of 2011 for Faster Family Reunification,
and since then the government has cut down backlogs to half and the CIC expects
to cut the backlog by 75% by the end of 2015.
Super Visa, allows grandparents
and parents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents to stay and visit
Canada more quickly, easily and conveniently. Till date, over 28,000 Super
Visas have been processed and nearly 98% of applications were approved who have
met the requirements.
The
new intake into the PGP program will start again in January 2015. More
information will be publicly available nearer to that date.
