Let me correct this. Here's what was exactly written on the CIC website:
Regulatory changes now in force mean sponsored spouses or partners will have to wait five years from the day they are granted permanent residence status in Canada to sponsor a new spouse or partner. Until now, a sponsored spouse or partner arriving in Canada as a permanent resident could leave their sponsor and sponsor another spouse or partner themselves, while their original sponsor was still financially responsible for them for up to three years.
Ibig sabihin po, kung ikaw ay inisponsor ng asawa mo and your marriage turned sour when you get here, nagdivorce kayo or legal separation, kelangan mo po maghintay ng 5 taon from the day na ikaw ay naging permanent resident bago ka magsponsor kung ikaw po ay muling magmamahal at magpapakasal at yung taong mamahalin mo ay nasa ibang bansa at hindi residente ng Canada.
Sa aking palagay it po ay effective sa lahat ng inisponsor ng kani-kanilang asawa na hindi pa lumalagpas sa 3 taon dahil po yung sponsor mo ay financially responsible sayo for 3 years, yun po ang pinirmahan nya sa Undertaking nya.
Hindi po ninyo kailangang magalala dahil hindi naman po ito directly makakaapekto sa current application nyo. Ang rule na ito ay nagaapply lang sa mga sponsored persons na nagrant na ng status dito sa Canada.
Sana po ay naclarify ko yung issue.
