After the inception of new immigration law and regulations in 2002, sposorship of spouse and dependant children was made a priority category considering the serious humanitarian and compassinate factors involved in unification of families. Most of the sponsorship applications were processed by the Case Processing Centre in Mississauga within 4 to 6 weeks; whereas, the permanent residence application of the sponsored family member(s) was processed within 6 months. It is very unfortunate that rampant restructuring of the Citizenship and Immigration policies in recent years has once again hampered the hencebefore smoother and faster processing of such immigration applications. Currently, once again the sponsorship process is taking almost one year minimum in most of the jurisdictions around the world. Canadian immigration lawyers and immigration consultans have expressed concerns about the escalating implications on family unifications which is also creating huge backglogs. In such circumstances, especially when Canada citizneship and immigration minister is still very much in the process of reshaping the immigration horizon of Canada, it has become extremely important that prospective sponsors and immigrants should seek the advice of immigration practitioners i.e. immigration lawyers or immigrant consultants.
