Hello everyone, I hope all of you are doing okay amidst the COVID 19 pandemic we are all facing.
I’m seeking clarification about the 5 years sponsorship ban, I been reading what it says on the Cic site and I’m still a bit confused. My case was that I been sponsored by my ex common law spouse and have been a PR since January of 2017, but right now I am just awaiting for my citizenship oath taking ceremony schedule to be announced(was delayed coz of the pandemic). Please help me understand if I able to sponsor my present conjugal partner spouse back home in the Philippines as soon as I become a citizen.?
Five-year sponsorship bar [R130(3)]
A person who became a permanent resident or a Canadian citizen after being sponsored as spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner is barred from sponsoring a spouse or partner within five years of becoming a permanent resident, even if they acquired citizenship during that period. The five years is counted back from the day on which the sponsorship application – as part of a complete application package – is received by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
A sponsor who became a permanent resident or a Canadian citizen after being sponsored as a spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner under subsection 13(1) of the Act may not sponsor a foreign national referred to in subsection (1) as a spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner unless the sponsor has been a permanent resident or a Canadian citizen, or a combination of the two, for a period of at least five years immediately preceding the day on which a sponsorship application referred to in paragraph (1)(c) is filed by the sponsor in respect of the foreign national.
