Guide 3999 – Sponsoring Your Family Before You Apply

CIC’s commitment

We are committed to issuing visas for routine cases of spouses, common-law partners, conjugal partners and/or dependent children as quickly as possible after the Case Processing Centre in Mississauga (CPC-M) receives complete applications from the sponsor.

However, a number of factors could have an impact on the outcome of your application or the time needed to process it. There can be no guarantee that the sponsorship will be approved or that the visas will be issued.
