Note: Effective December 4, 2019, all protected persons in Canada may submit completed permanent residence applications for their overseas spouse or partner and dependent children along with their own completed permanent residence applications online or by mail to the case processing centre in Mississauga in order to facilitate concurrent processing for their family members.
Important: Although applicants are encouraged to submit applications for dependants abroad at the time they submit their own application, this is not a mandatory requirement in order for the protected person’s application for permanent residence to commence processing.
