On October 25, the Canadian Immigration Department issued a notice that all invitation letters for parents' reunion immigrants in 2022 have been sent , reminding applicants to check the emails quickly, because the information is submitted only 2 months and expired and invalid.
Canadian Immigration Department issued a notice on the morning of October 25:
Parents and Grandparents Reunion Immigration Program (PGP) Update: We have completed sending an invitation to the potential guarantor. Please check the email address you used when submitting your interest form in 2020.
The Immigration Department said it has sent 23,100 invitations to apply to achieve the goal of accepting up to 15,000 full applications in 2022.
Canadian Immigration Department then said:
If you receive an invitation to apply, you must submit your PGP parents and grandparents reunion application on the permanent residence online application portal before December 24, 2022 at 11:59 pm Eastern Standard Time.

Minimal essential income (MNI) is a key eligibility factor for parents' immigration. This necessary income certificate can only be provided after the intention to guarantee parents' immigration is expressed through the online form.
Immigration Department has also updated the applicant's minimum income requirement. In 2021, as in 2020, the guarantor's income requirement will be the minimum necessary income, rather than the minimum necessary income plus 30%, as well as the regular employment insurance benefits (EI) and temporary COVID-19 benefits (such as CERB) will be allowed to be included in the guarantor's income.
For example, if a family of four applies for parents to immigrate, the income will be 62,814 CAD in 2021, the income will be 61,613 CAD in 2020, and 78,296 CAD in 2019.
Parent reunion is the wish of many overseas Chinese, and they are waiting for the start of the lottery every year.
Two weeks ago, Canadian Minister Sean Fraser finally announced the good news for the 2022 Parents and Grandparents Reunion Immigration Program (PGP) reopening, saying that 23,100 guarantee applications will be issued.
This year, the applicants who submitted their intentions in 2020 were still drawn. According to data disclosed by the Immigration Department, there are still 155,313 applicants in this pool waiting for their parents to reunite. This year, 23,100 applications were drawn, with a winning rate of less than 15%.
