Most of the immigrants in Canada have received their Permanent Resident Cards through Spousal Sponsorship.
Canada is targeting to welcome 80,000 new immigrants annually from 2021 till 2023 through sponsorship. The new immigrants will be the Spouses, Partners, and Children of Canadian citizens and permanent residents.
Due to global pandemic the process for spousal sponsorship has been delayed but IRCC will start to process the applications quickly once COVID-19 is contained.
