Canada Halts Parent & Grandparent Sponsorship

This podcast summarises the recent changes to Canada's Parent and Grandparent permanent residency sponsorship program. The Canadian government has issued a ministerial directive pausing the intake of new sponsorship applications for parents and grandparents. This decision is primarily aimed at addressing existing backlogs and aligning processing with the government's immigration levels plan, which involves a reduction in overall immigration targets over the next three years.
