Hi!

Assuming that a PR is already eligible (and qualified) to sponsor parents, is there
any significant advantage for that person to wait until he/she becomes a Canadian
citizen before filing the application? How long does it normally take for a PR to
sponsor parents? How long for Canadian citizens? Are there any differences in
requirements/criteria, depending on whether the sponsor is a PR or a citizen?

Please advise. Thanks!

Greg

There is no difference at all. Processing time depends from many factors but not from
the fact that the sponsor is a Canadian citizen or PR.

On average, such sponsorships take 6-18 months depending on the need for an interview
and the location at which the case is concluded. The citizenship status of the
sponsor is not a factor in such, nor do the requirements vary on the basis of such.

even PR can sponsor parents..just make sure your financial requirements are met....

my uncle's application to sponsor our grandparents got denied just because his income
was short of about a couple hundred dollars....

Will debts (incurred and payable outside of Canada) be a factor in considering
eligibility for family sponsorship, or should the sponsor pay them all first before
submitting the application? Thanks for your advise.
