加拿大移民局CIC官网消息，父母团聚移民2016年开闸三天爆满。加拿大移民部1月7日公布，2016年1月4日开闸的担保父母或祖父母团聚移民已收到逾1.4万宗申请，当局已停止接受申请。
接到的超过1.4万宗申请个案当中，首5000个资料完整的申请个案将进入轮候队伍（inventory queue）等待审批。
CIC重申计划将父母团聚名额每年的上限由5000增加至1万。因此，此次虽然只有头5000个完整的申请个案进入轮候队伍，但是整体保留了头1万个完整的申请个案等待下一步名额放宽。至于现时的5000名额何时增加至1万名额，CIC何时将未能列入轮候队伍的申请退回给申请人，移民局将会做后续消息公布。

Notice – Closing of the parent and grandparent application period
Ottawa, January 7, 2016—Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) received more than 14,000 new parent and grandparent applications since the program re-opened on January 4, 2016. Intake is now closed while we review the applications received. The first 5,000 complete applications received will be placed in the inventory queue. Canada is committed to reuniting families and the Government of Canada is seeking to increase the intake of parent and grandparent sponsorship applications from 5,000 to 10,000 per year. In light of this commitment, IRCC will retain the first 10,000 complete applications. More information on this increase will be forthcoming, including information on when we will be returning applications not added to the inventory. Check our website for updates on the next program opening date. Parents and grandparents who wish to spend an extended period of time with their families in Canada also have the option to apply for the Parent and Grandparent Super Visa. The Super Visa offers holders the option of staying in Canada for up to two years, whereas the regular visa provides a six-month maximum.
