Jignesh Padia has been trying to relocate his 63-year-old mother permanently from the U.K. to Regina for the past seven years, but the wait seems endless.
The 41-year-old first submitted an application for permanent residency for his parents in January 2017 under the federal Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP). In April of that year, they received the confirmation that they haven’t been short-listed.
“We further followed up in 2017, but didn’t receive any other guidance or direction. We were just asked to sit tight. In 2018, nothing happened. We also applied in 2019 again, nothing happened. We are still waiting,” Padia said.
