What success looks like

The government made reuniting families a top priority and doubled the number of parents and grandparents sponsorship applications accepted to 10,000 in 2016. The new cap will be further doubled to 20,000 for 2019.

Government's narrative on progress

The government increased the number of entry applications it accepts through its Parent and Grandparent (PGP) Program. In 2018, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) increased the cap to 17,000 applications. The 2019 cap is 20,000.
