The PGP program was designed to foster family reunification for immigrants in Canada who have become permanent residents or citizens. It allows citizens, permanent residents, and registered Indians to sponsor their parents and grandparents to enter Canada. This program has gained immense popularity because it provides a realistically achievable path to permanent residency, along with access to healthcare, the right to work, social services, and protection under Canadian law and the Charter of Rights and Freedom. Those sponsored also have the opportunity to eventually acquire Canadian citizenship.
