Hi
i dont know if him being deported will make it longer or not all i know is that from the day your friend sent in the sponsorship forms it takes 17 months for someone from mexico to be given the PR
sorry i dont have more info as iam just finding out stuff here myself so if it doesnt affect the process then i would say he should get it this april if everything goes well i hope and if they say it was approved then not long to wait

1. Yes it will be longer than the 15 months quoted for 80% of the spousal applications, as he will require an Approval to Return to Canada (ARC) which is another processing delay.
