December 19, 2014 — Ottawa — Today, Canada's Citizenship and Immigration Minister Chris Alexander announced that the parent and grandparent program (PGP) will re-open on January 2, 2015.

加拿大移民局局长克里斯·亚历山大宣布：父母与祖父母团聚项目将于2015年1月2日重开。

Alexander highlighted the success of the PGP, stating that Canada has welcomed more than 70,000 parents and grandparents since 2012. This number represents the highest level of parent and grandparent admissions in nearly two decades. Thanks to the government's Action Plan for Faster Family Reunification, the backlog has already been reduced by nearly 54 percent. 

亚历山大强调了PGP的成功。自2012年PDP项目设立以来，已经吸引了超过70,000父母与祖父母来加拿大。在近二十年例，这一数字体现了父母与祖父母许可的最高级别。多亏了政府的加速家庭团聚计划行动，积压案件已经减少了54%。

Parents and grandparents who wish to visit their family in Canada can also apply for the Parent and Grandparent Super Visa. It remains a fast, convenient option for parents and grandparents wanting to spend an extended period of time in Canada with their families. To date, approximately 45,000 Super Visas have been issued with an approval rate of over 80 percent.

那些希望来加拿大探访家人的父母和祖父母们也可以申请父母与祖父母超级签证。对于想在加拿大与家人度过更长的团聚时光的父母和祖父母来说，超级签证仍然是一个快速、方便的选择。从数据上来看，大约45,000个超级签证已经通过核准，申请通过率超过80%。
