If you’re invited to apply to sponsor your parents and grandparents, there are 2 applications
-
You must apply to become a sponsor.
-
Your parents or grandparents must apply for permanent residence.
Submit both the sponsorship and the permanent residence applications online at the same time.
You must submit your application by the deadline stated in your invitation to apply letter.
Step 1. Get an invitation to apply
IRCC randomly select and invite potential sponsors to apply to sponsor their parents and grandparents. For the 2023 intake, we’ll invite potential sponsors from the remaining pool of interest to sponsor forms submitted in 2020. Between October 10 and 23, 2023, we’ll send 24,200 invitations to apply to potential sponsors. Our goal is to accept up to 15,000 complete applications. If you’re invited to apply, we’ll email you using the email address you put on your 2020 interest to sponsor form.
If your email address has changed
If you’re no longer using the email address you put on your 2020 interest to sponsor form, you’ll be able to tell us your new email address using the Find your lost confirmation number page. We’ll post a link to this page on October 23, 2023.
Step 2. Fill out the application
Don’t start filling out your application unless you’re invited to apply to the 2023 intake. If you apply without being invited, IRCC

will return your application and
-
won’t refund the sponsorship application processing fee
Step 3. Pay your application fees
You need to pay processing fees for you, the people you’re sponsoring and their dependants.
Step 4. Submit your online application
Before you submit your application, make sure you
-
answer all questions on the forms
-
electronically sign your application (type your full name exactly as shown on your passport)
-
include your processing fee receipt
-
upload all the supporting documents

Follow the instructions in the request letter you received for details on how to submit the missing documentation. After 30 days, if your application is still incomplete, we’ll return the application to you and it won’t be processed.
Step 5. Send additional information during processing
During processing, the person you’re sponsoring must submit their

biometrics within 30 days of receiving the biometric instruction letter
If the people you’re sponsoring can’t give their biometrics on time
