Spousal Sponsorship
Faster Spousal Sponsorship
There’s good news for those apply for spousal sponsorship this year. The IRCC announced on September 24th, that they will be increasing the amount of decisions made to 49,000 by the end of the year. This means 6000 applications processed per month by December.
How is this being done? The IRCC has increased the number of “decision makers” by 66% to process these sponsorship applications. This is said to significantly reduce the current wait times. By how much exactly is anyone’s guess. The regular wait time as seen the IRCC website is usually around 12. However, we can assume that if you have applied earlier this year you may see a case decision by the end of the year.
“These initiatives are aimed at accelerating, prioritizing, and finalizing about 6,000 spousal applications each month through to the end of 2020.”

Now is the time to sponsor
Now might be the right time to apply for spousal sponsorship. This is mainly because those who would have had a decision sent to them next year are receiving it by December. In addition, this could shorten the wait time for next year moving applications moving them forward. So, it is possible that the sooner you apply this year the sooner you may receive a decision next year.
Keep in mind that just last month in August, this process was much more complicated. The Canadian Government stating, “applications from Canadians trying to return to Canada, vulnerable persons or essential workers are being given priority and if documents or other necessary information is delayed it will extend the deadline for applicants by 90 days”. After this push for 49,000 processed applications is made, it’s hard to tell what the system will look like. It’s possible that the government may go back to a similar situation as it was in August, or revert to its re-Covid state. However, in any eventuality it’s important to start planning now.
So if you were on the fence about applying before, now might be the perfect time to apply.

We recommend using an agency mainly because spousal sponsorships can be a difficult and lengthy process. This process requires multiple forms of documentation and review. Because of this, many applicant end up having to redo their applications to be submitting again, lengthening their time apart. It’s understandable that no one wants to go through this. The best situation for both sides of any relationship is to be together, and as soon as possible.
