Canada will not accept new parent and grandparent permanent residency sponsorship applications until further notice, according to a ministerial directive.
The directive published in the Canada Gazette states the government remains committed to family reunification but will focus on processing applications received last year.

According to the directive, it's Immigration Minister Marc Miller's opinion that this will "best support" the government's goals around immigration and family reunification.
Other immigration streams have also seen new sponsorships paused in order to help clear the existing backlog.
