2025 intake
Starting July 28, 2025, we invited potential sponsors who submitted an interest to sponsor form in 2020 to apply for the 2025 intake.
We sent 17,860 invitations over approximately 2 weeks. Our goal is to accept 10,000 complete applications.
The last day to apply was October 9, 2025. We’re no longer accepting applications.
If you were invited to apply
We sent your invitation to the email address you put on your 2020 interest to sponsor form.
If you were not invited to apply
If you’d like your parents and grandparents to come to Canada, they may be eligible to apply for a super visa, which lets them stay in Canada for 5 years at a time.
Parents and grandparents visiting on a super visa can also apply for 2-year extensions to their stay while they’re still in Canada.
