Canada plans to grow spousal sponsorship applications by 8.2% in 2022. It means that people who wish to move to 
Canada via spousal sponsorship will witness speedy processing of their applications. As an immigration-friendly 
nation, Canada has always prioritized family unification and has done every bit to help families reunite, even amid 
the pandemic. If you are planning immigration to Canada from India through spousal sponsorship, now is the time to 
do so, as Canada intends to welcome 69 740 newcomers through this program. 
The spousal sponsorship program has recently gained traction for those wishing to join their partners in Canada. 
The Covid-19 pandemic further multiplied its popularity. The number of people migrating to Canada under spousal 
sponsorship programs has grown by 22.7%, from 46,350 in 2015 to 56,885 in 2021. 
In 2017, overall immigration lost some momentum, dropping 
over 3.3% from 296 370 to 286 540 newcomers. Despite the 
drop, spousal sponsorship programs continued to nudge up by 
2.2% in 2017 by inviting 58 135 permanent residents.
 
2018 was a different year than 2017, with immigration numbers 
rising again. In the same year, Canada invited 62,885 
newcomers under the spousal sponsorship program, an 8.2% 
rise from 2017.
Covid-19 Put a Temporary Halt to Spousal Sponsorship Applications in 2020
 
The pandemic came as an unexpected event that no one was prepared for. With countries shutting down their borders, 
implementing lockdowns, and restricting general movement, processing immigration applications within time became next to 
impossible. 
 
Canada’s overall immigration dropped by 45.9% to 184 585 newcomers in 2020. The number of spousal sponsorship applications 
plummeted to 44.2% to only 36 120 new residents.
