今天（周五）移民部公布了2018年父母团聚移民筛选办法，和今年没什么变化，除了会完善在线报名的表格，思路依然是随机抽取。根据今年的情况预计抽中的概率不会超过10%. 和今年一样，我们不签约抽中之前的客户，如果客户抽中之后需要我们准备材料，收费约为2500加币。
填写抽签报名表的时间是1月2日中午到2月1日中午（东部时间）。在抽中之前，不建议客户过度关心无犯罪记录办理、出生公证办理、收入计算方法等问题，因为这些问题都有办法解决（收入即使是差点也可以上诉到IAD），但抽签不中是没有办法解决的，提前准备材料大概率是浪费时间和精力。
对于不再对父母团聚移民抱希望的客户，如果只是打算让父母常住，可以办理超级签证。如果想给父母办理移民，也可以考虑旅游签转学签等曲线救国的方法。
Potential sponsors will soon have the opportunity to express their interest to sponsor
December 22, 2017 – Ottawa, ON – Canadian citizens and permanent residents will soon be able to take the first step in applying to bring their parents and grandparents to Canada, when the Parents and Grandparents Program reopens in 2018.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) introduced a new process in 2017 for application intake for sponsoring parents and grandparents to make it fairer and more transparent for applicants. Now, potential sponsors must first notify IRCC that they are interested in sponsoring their parents and grandparents by submitting an “Interest to Sponsor” form. Using a random selection process, IRCC will then invite potential sponsors to apply to sponsor their parents and grandparents.
Today, the Honourable Ahmed Hussen, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, announced that the “Interest to Sponsor” form will be available at noon EST on January 2, 2018. Those who wish to apply to sponsor their parents and grandparents in 2018 must first fill out this online form. It will be available until noon February 1, 2018.
To help ensure the efficiency of the system and to allow as many eligible sponsors as possible to bring their parents and grandparents to Canada, it is important that only those who meet the sponsorship eligibility requirements submit an “Interest to Sponsor” form. Additional questions have been added to the 2018 version of the “Interest to Sponsor” form to help potential sponsors self-assess whether they are eligible to sponsor.
