Sponsoring Spouses Who Are Illegally Resident in Canada
If your spouse leaves Canada before his/her permanent residence visa and sponsorship
agreement is granted he/she may not be granted entry back into Canada. In this case, your spouse will have to reapply for Canada permanent residence from the country they reside in. This process can take up to a year and sometimes longer.
