Program delivery update: Applications under family classes – Assessing the sponsor
All sponsors must:
meet the legislative requirements
submit complete sponsorship applications containing all necessary forms and supporting documents listed in the Document Checklist for the applicable family class program or category [R10]
sign an IMM 1344 Application to Sponsor, Sponsorship Agreement and Undertaking
not be subject to a sponsorship bar [R133(1)]
Sponsors must indicate in Q1 on the IMM 1344 whether they wish to proceed with the sponsorship even if they do not meet the requirements to sponsor. If not, a sponsor may withdraw the sponsorship application and receive a refund of all but the sponsorship processing fee. If, however, the sponsor indicates that they wish to proceed, the applications will be sent to the processing office for assessment and final decision.
