Sponsoring your family

Spouses, partners and dependent children

How can I check the status of a sponsorship application?

You may check your application status on this website, using the e-client Application Status service (e-CAS) of the Citizenship and Immigration website.

If you are sponsoring a member of the family class, you may also check case status through the CIC Call Centre. In Canada, call 1-888-242-2100. In some cases, you can use our Case Specific Enquiry Form. Choose International Visa Office. Choose the Canadian visa office you applied to from the list and look under “Case specific enquiries.” Please read the instructions carefully before sending an enquiry using that form.
