Hi everyone,
I’m in the process of preparing a family class sponsorship application for my spouse and wanted to ask a few practical questions about timelines and documentation from people who have gone through it recently. We’re trying to plan work, housing, and finances around the move, so real‑world experiences would be incredibly helpful.
For those who applied in the last 12–18 months, how long did it take from submission to eligibility approval, and then to final decision?
Did you notice any big differences in processing speed between outland and inland applications?
Are there any common mistakes or missing documents that caused delays for you (for example, relationship proofs, forms, or medicals)?
Is it worth hiring a representative, or is a carefully self‑prepared application usually enough if we follow IRCC guides closely?
I really appreciate any insights you can share. I’m posting from my main account (I work in e‑commerce and branding, including some niche projects like a leon scott kennedy jacket line), but here my priority is doing the sponsorship process properly and avoiding unnecessary delays for my family.
