CIC updated their website with the most recent processing times (1) for Inland Spousal Sponsorship. Unfortunately, they added 2 more months to the wait, making it a total of 27 months for the spouse of a Canadian to get Permanent Residency.

When these news were announced last week, CIC attempted a change of their timetable, which confused applicants.
After a week, CIC decided to restore the old timetable, that explains current processing times in a more clear way.
Due to the increase in processing times, protest are taking place all over Canada. After the first protest in Ottawa, a second one was hosted in Calgary (2) (video: minute 7). Additionally, a new protest will take place in Mississauga this Friday (3) and Montreal will also have a demonstration on April 11th.

Just when I think I'm getting closer. I sponsored my husband and my son of 4yrs and submitted it on June 18th 2014 and I just got my certificate of selection aproved form Quebec.Feb 4th 2016 I was just wondering how long to get my sponsorship aproved? Up until then I have no medical insurance for my son and it's hurting us a lot because we have to pay for everything medical and I'm soooo fustratad with the system. FYI my Son was born abroad I am a Canadian citizen by my father's side but since Harper's government change the law in 2009 my son doesn't qualify as a canadian citizen it has hurt us in so many levels. So what does that means exactly, I'm a second class citizen??
