 Since 2014, the sponsor commitment period for parants sponsorship immgrants has been changed from 10 years to 20 years.
  • Extends the undertaking period for sponsors of parents and grandparents and their accompanying dependants, from 10 to 20 years.Sponsors must sign a sponsorship agreement in which they commit to provide for the basic needs, such as food, clothing and shelter, of their parent or grandparent and any accompanying family members, for a period of 20 years.

What do it mean for them to apply OAS/GIS later in the future? Will they need to live in Canada 20 years to apply them?
