Recently, the Canadian immigration authorities announced that the "2020 Parents and Grandparents Reunion" lottery, originally scheduled for the end of this month, has been postponed to early next year.
At the same time, the immigration authorities provided an explanation: they are currently working to process the documents submitted this year to remove duplicates, will further randomly generate the lottery list, and will send application invitations to selected sponsors. Due to the plan opening later this year and uncontrollable reasons such as the pandemic, it has been decided to select eligible sponsors in early 2021. Relevant information will also be updated in a timely manner on the official website.
The application for the Parents and Grandparents Reunion opened between October 13 and November 3 of this year, and the Canadian immigration department will select 10,000 sponsors through a lottery, who will be eligible to submit immigration applications for their parents/grandparents in early 2021. However, the lottery time has been postponed to early 2021.
Although the application invitations for 2020 will be delayed, 2021 will be an important year for the Parents and Grandparents Reunion immigration program. The quota for the 2020 Parents and Grandparents Reunion immigration is 10,000. In 2021, the Canadian immigration department will open 30,000 quotas for the Parents and Grandparents Reunion immigration, which is three times the quota of 2020!
The Parents and Grandparents Reunion immigration program allows Canadian citizens and permanent residents to sponsor their parents and grandparents for permanent residency, making it one of the most popular programs over the years. The significant increase in the quota for parents/grandparents immigration further reflects Canada’s welcoming stance towards immigrants. In fact, Canada’s friendly immigration policies are widely recognized internationally.
In the 2020 Migration Integration Policy Index (MIPEX) ranking, Canada’s immigration policies improved by two positions globally, ranking 4th among 52 countries. This is mainly due to improvements in healthcare services for refugees and enhancements to the Citizenship Act.
The MIPEX index is an international benchmark for immigration integration policies and is the most commonly used indicator by policymakers, civil society organizations, researchers, and the media. Government policies affect the ease with which new immigrants can find employment and access language and educational opportunities, thereby influencing their sense of belonging and their ability to fully participate in social affairs as citizens.
The index report states that Canada’s greatest strength lies in its anti-discrimination policies. Canada scores highly due to its world-leading laws and policies, including the multiculturalism policy outlined in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Additionally, the report notes that Canada’s family reunification policies are friendly, while multicultural education and equity policies have earned high praise for Canada’s education system.
As a traditional immigration powerhouse, Canada’s open immigration policies, multicultural society that welcomes Chinese immigrants, robust social security system, and enduring education system have maintained a high standard of living quality. It is these advantages that make Canada an attractive destination for many investors seeking immigration.
On October 30, 2020, Canada’s Minister of Immigration, Marco Mendicino, announced a three-year immigration plan to welcome 1.233 million new immigrants over the next three years: 401,000 new immigrants in 2021; 411,000 new immigrants in 2022; and 421,000 new immigrants in 2023. The large immigration quota accommodates individuals from diverse backgrounds. Among the various types of immigration programs in Canada, the employer-sponsored immigration program, which is low-cost, quick to approve, and has low language and education requirements, has attracted significant attention from investors, becoming a new choice for rapid immigration to Canada.
The Canadian employer-sponsored immigration program has very lenient conditions, with no source of funds requirement, no investment amount requirement, quick approval times, low language and education requirements, and a simple process, allowing one person to apply for the entire family to immigrate. Multiple provinces are available, ensuring there is a suitable option for everyone.
