Application cap reached until June 25, 2026
The
Ministère de l’Immigration, de la Francisation et de l’Intégration (MIFI) has
reached the maximum number of undertaking applications it can receive from June
26, 2024, to June 25, 2026, for sponsoring parents, grandparents, or other
family members.
No
new applications for these family members will be accepted until June 25, 2026.
Any applications submitted beyond the cap will be returned without processing,
and review fees will not be deposited. Applicants whose files are returned can
reapply once a new intake period is announced. MIFI is expected to release
details on future application management by June 25, 2026.
Sponsorship
applications for certain other relatives—such as minor dependent children,
minor children to be adopted, or adult children dependent on parents due to a
physical or mental condition—remain open.
This
announcement follows a similar update earlier this month when the cap for
sponsorship of spouses, common-law partners, conjugal partners, and children
aged 18 or older was also reached.
