Understanding the Changes to Spousal Sponsorship Processing Times

Starting January 2025, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has extended the processing time for inside-Canada spousal sponsorship applications from 12 months to 24 months. This significant change means applicants need to be more diligent than ever to ensure their applications are accurate and complete.

Why Timely and Accurate Submissions Matter

1. Extended Wait Times: With the new 24-month processing timeline, even minor errors in your application could result in delays that extend well beyond this period.
2. Increased Emotional and Financial Stress: Prolonged separation from your spouse or uncertainty about the outcome of your application can cause additional emotional and financial burdens.
3. Reduced Margin for Error: As the timelines have doubled, applicants must prioritize submitting error-free applications to avoid losing precious time.
