Hi all,

I have a question regarding to in-land sponsorship. Last 2 years, I submitted the in-land spousal sponsorship for my ex wife. However, we withdraw the application after IRCC finished processing the sponsor’s application and started processing the permanent residence application for the sponsored person, but before she received the PR from sponsorship. The reason we withdraw is my ex wife receive the PR from the express entry stream before the sponsorship application completed. Now, we just finished our divorce and I just remarried and would like to sponsor my current wife. Therefore, I have couple questions that I am curious with:

Can I sponsor for my current wife or I need to wait for specific time?
Did the 5 years rule applied to me?
Even I withdraw the application, did IRCC record and count it as my first spousal sponsorship attempt or not?

I hope our dear friends can help me to understand more about the topic above. Thank you for your help.

NB: Your EX got her PR from express entry ( Skilled worker). You have nothing to do with her since she did not landed based on the sponsorship program and withdrew on time the sponsorship application.
Did you receive a confirmation that they withdrew the application? If so, you are free to go.

1- No since she got her PR not from you and withdrew the application before she got it based on sponsorship application.
2- No, She did not get her PR from you. 5 years rule is applied when the person is landed under the spouse sponsorship program.
3- They have everything in the system but the application was withdrawn. You have to make a note on a separate sheet of paper to explain that as well as the reason of the withdrawal. They save everything you send in the package and every communication.
