On October 10, IRCC will begin sending invitations to apply to 24,200 interested potential sponsors, aiming to receive up to the 15,000 complete applications.
Due to the number of forms remaining in the pool of submissions from 2020, invitations will be sent to randomly selected sponsors from that pool instead of opening a new interest to sponsor form.
Canada’s goal is to welcome 28,500 parents and grandparents in 2023. By 2025, the selection cap will increase to 36,000 applications.
