Multiple applications under different classes
- Thread starter AFAZY
- Start date
Do you mean two applications for the same person?
I don't think there's any issues with a simultaneous application, but you are aware that spousal sponsorship requires you to live and work in the country for 3 years+ before you can qualify as a sponsor right? The actual application for spousal sponsorship only takes 1 - 1.5 years if you have already qualified as a sponsor.
For my case, since I have not worked for 3 years post-landing, I decided to have my wife go through the express entry route since she qualifies for it and the processing time is faster.
If you meant applying for express entry yourself, and spousal sponsorship for your spouse at the same time, then that is not possible.
Hope this helps.

Many Thanks Scylla, Dealucis, and Bellaluna. Yes I meant two simultaneous applications for the same person, My spouse is Canadian Citizenship and I think I have a chance under express entry too, so to save time, I was thinking to apply under both categories and go with the first successful application.
I have two additional small questions guys if you don't mind me asking,
1- Is there any consequences ( positive or negative) when submitting two applications other than paying for two applications? Or they are treated as if they are two separate applications ?
Are you aware of any official resource/guide where I can find more about multiple applications?
Many thanks again

It's somewhere on the CIC website, but again, it's allowed. Of course CIC wouldn't mind as long as you pay the application fees for both applications.AFAZY said:Many Thanks Scylla, Dealucis, and Bellaluna.

No consequences at all to have multiple applications. And then you can withdraw the other application when one progresses. You're not the first or the last person to do this.
