Canada Spousal Sponsorship

Welcome to Canada Spousal Sponsorship 2023

The website is in form of Guide. It is composed of several different resources from IRCC's Official sources, forums, Facebook Pages & Groups, Pakistani applicants' timelines spreadsheet and many more publicly unpublished resources.

Disclaimer : We cannot be held responsible for any errors or omissions and you should always exercise caution with your own research and verification from original sources.

The purpose was to benefit applicants from all communities addressing frequently asked questions about spousal sponsorship and compiling them into a single unified resource, however this resource can now be used by anyone.
