今天（周五）移民部公布了2018年父母團聚移民篩選辦法，和今年沒什麼變化，除了會完善在線報名的表格，思路依然是隨機抽取。根據今年的情況預計抽中的概率不會超過10%. 和今年一樣，我們不簽約抽中之前的客戶，如果客戶抽中之後需要我們準備材料，收費約為2500加幣。
填寫抽籤報名表的時間是1月2日中午到2月1日中午（東部時間）。在抽中之前，不建議客戶過度關心無犯罪記錄辦理、出生公證辦理、收入計算方法等問題，因為這些問題都有辦法解決（收入即使是差點也可以上訴到IAD），但抽籤不中是沒有辦法解決的，提前準備材料大概率是浪費時間和精力。
對於不再對父母團聚移民抱希望的客戶，如果只是打算讓父母常住，可以辦理超級簽證。如果想給父母辦理移民，也可以考慮旅遊簽轉學簽等曲線救國的方法。
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.
