Could someone please advise how can I withdraw my Sponsorship application?
May I withdraw my undertaking once it has been approved?
If you no longer want to sponsor your family members or they no longer wish to immigrate to Canada, you must inform the Case Processing Centre (CPC) of your decision to withdraw your undertaking
before the sponsored person(s) become(s) a permanent resident of Canada. You must use this
web form and clearly state your name, date of birth and Unique Client Identifier (UCI) /Client ID number, if known, in all correspondence.
- If you inform the CPC before the sponsored person(s) become(s) a permanent resident of Canada, the CPC will take steps to stop the application process for permanent residence, record the withdrawal of your sponsorship and close your file. You will be informed in writing that your request to withdraw was accepted.
- If you inform the CPC after your family members become permanent residents of Canada, the commitment you and your co-signer, if applicable, made to support your family is valid for the term of your undertaking.
Once the sponsorship undertaking takes effect on the day the person you are sponsoring becomes a permanent resident of Canada, it remains in effect for the entire 20 years, regardless if the status in Canada of the person being sponsored changes.
