I have a question for those who received the SA letter.
Some people receive the SA by mail. My address has changed and I requested the change to IRCC, but it hasn't been changed yet. If it doesn't come by email, I won't be able to receive the mail.
So I have a question. What does the SA letter say?
The AIP says to pay RPRF. Is there something important in the SA letter?
I have never received SA or AIP via mail. SA via email (PDF - first page) said something like this
SPONSOR'S NAME
This refers to the Application to Sponsor a Member of the Spouse or Common-Law Partner in
Canada Class you submitted to this office on behalf of PA's name and family
(if applicable).
You have met the requirements for eligibility as a sponsor. The Application for Permanent
Residence (APR) for your relative will be processed separately and he/she will be contacted
shortly.
If you received this communication via email, please note that another copy will not be mailed to
you.
Reminder - Your undertaking is an unconditional promise of support
The undertaking you signed is an unconditional promise to financially support and provide basic
requirements for your sponsored relative(s). This undertaking is not broken by such changes as
the granting of Canadian citizenship, divorce, separation, relationship breakdown, moving to
another province, or a change in your financial situation. Furthermore, it cannot be cancelled once
a final decision has been made on their APR.
If your family member's APR is approved, your obligations as a sponsor begin as soon as your
sponsored relative and, if applicable, their accompanying family members become permanent
residents of Canada. If your family member entered Canada on a temporary resident permit
following an APR, your obligation will begin on the date of that entry to Canada. Your obligations
for your family member will end as follows:
Spouses, common-law partners - 3 years from the date on which permanent resident status is
granted.
Dependent children of spouses or common-law partners, who are less than 19 years of
age on the date permanent resident status is granted - 10 years from the date on which
permanent residence status is granted OR until the age of 22, whichever comes first.
Dependent children of spouses or common-law partners who are 19 years of age or older
on the date permanent residence status is granted - 3 years from the date on which permanent
residence status is granted.
