I am a born and raised Canadian. My wife has PR and will be applying for citizenship next year. We would like to sponsor her mom. Can someone please give me a quick outline of the process, is it still a lottery or we just apply and they process it?
My mother in law currently has a 10 year visitor visa. If she gets picked for sponsorship, does that mean she will get her PR right away? also, would this be wise to apply now or wait until my wife is a citizen, we meet/exceed the income requirements.
Also, what does the processing time look like for this, 1 year plus I am assuming?
Sorry for the ignorance, I can only find the "parent and grandparent processing" thread, but it does not explain it at all.
