What kind of application is this? Spousal sponsorship? Other family members? Any chance you got PR as a refugee?

Relatives usually don’t qualify for sponsorship. What kind of relatives have you included in your application and what type of sponsorship did you apply for?

 

[Tieno]

The application was for other family members

No I am the person who applied to sponsor them since I'm a Canadian permanent resident

This is a lower priority immigration stream. Processing times are generally around 2 years. However you should anticipate it may take longer since all processing is currently delayed to due COVID-19. So far your application looks normal. It's also normal not to hear any updates for a long time.

OMG! 24months!! That's too much by the way why is it a lower priority immigration stream?
Moreover I don't think there's a processing time which takes that long,
Please don't kw anyone who has applied for thesame kind of application and how long it took?

It is lower priority because the high priority is on reuniting immediate family members, meaning spouses and children.

Yes, it certainly can and does take that long.

If you look through the forum, you will find that such files generally take years.

Other relative sponsorship is not a common process. You can search the forum for other cases.
