Sponsor your parents and grandparents: Submit the interest to sponsor form

How the 2022 process will work

For the 2022 process, we’ll invite 23,100 potential sponsors from the remaining pool of 155,313 potential sponsors who submitted an interest to sponsor form in 2020. This will help us reach IRCC’s goal of accepting up to 15,000 complete applications. IRCC will not open a new interest to sponsor form in 2022.

If you were able to submit your interest to sponsor form in 2020

If you were able to submit the interest to sponsor form in 2020, you saw a page with a confirmation number. We asked you to write down this number so you can use it later.

We also sent you an email with the confirmation number to let you know we got your form. Once we send out all invitations, you can use this number to check if you’ve been invited to apply to the 2022 process.

Invitations to apply

We send invitations by email. If you’re invited to apply, make sure you don’t miss the invitation:

• Check the same email account you used on your 2020 interest to sponsor form.
• Check your junk mail or spam folder to see if an email from us is there.
