Come January 2, 2014, and the Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) will once again throw open the scheme meant for Parent and Grandparent (PGP) for fresh petitions, even as by the said time the backlog & wait times in the scheme, it’s claimed, would have been reduced by 50%.
In this connection, the immigration minister reportedly said that the Phase II Action Plan for Faster Family Reunification would be made use of to reduce the backlog & wait times by as much as 50% in the said program. Jason Kenney, the minister, added that it’s rather vital that the nation carries-on moving ahead, and not revert back to the ancient wrecked structure with wait times as long as 10 years.
It’s claimed that the Phase II of the said scheme will offer even quicker processing times, cut-down the backlog more, stop future backlogs, make certain that families have the financial resources to extend support to those they offer sponsorship, and safeguard the common taxpayers’ benefits.
During 2012 & 2013, the nation will accept 50,000 parents & grandparents as permanent residents even as it would mean the biggest level of parents & grandparents given entry in two decades. During 2014, the nation will allegedly continue impressive levels of admissions for parents & grandparents.
The PGP Visa–also known as the Super Visa–will become permanent even as it will carry-on offering flexibility for families which access the decade multiple-admission permit, enabling them to stay in the country for as much as two years at any given time. With endorsement rates of 86% more than 15,000 Super Visas have been made available since the program’s introduction during the month of December 2011.
New eligibility conditions for permanent residency sponsorship of the PGP will swell the financial accountability of the sponsors to make certain they possess the resources to back those they offer sponsorship.
During 2014, 5,000 fresh sponsorship submissions will be admitted via the scheme. Through admitting 5,000 petitions during 2014 while simultaneously maintaining rather high levels, the administration will be in a position to cut-down the rest of the backlog, so that families across the country may be reunited comparatively more rapidly.
In this connection, Kenney declared that the fresh conditions make certain that sponsored family members get good backing from their sponsors all the way through their time in the country, adding the re-tailored scheme brings together families much more swiftly, without proving a burden on the common taxpayers and the limited resources meant for the many national health & social schemes.
The Maple Country has seemingly one of the most liberal family reunification schemes across the entire globe. The US, Britain, Australia & New Zealand rarely permit the offering of sponsorship to grandparents even as they do not boast of very liberal conditions for the sponsorship of parents either.
Come January 2, 2014, and Immigration Canada will once again throw open the scheme meant for Parent and Grandparent (PGP) for fresh petitions, even as by the said time the backlog & wait times in the scheme, it’s claimed, would have been reduced by 50%.
