hahaha! I would have believed 100s....1000s is a little far fetched at this point. Going forward, given the higher immigration targets, I think the sponsorship applications would also increase in a corresponding manner. Right now I feel it might just be a matter of understaffing or unfamiliarity with outland applications........Does anyone have any idea how many (on average) spousal sponsorship applications are filled in a month? Why do they have 1000s of applications?
