You approved my refugee sponsorship more than 10 weeks ago. What should I do if you haven’t contacted me yet?
If you’ve been waiting for more than 10 weeks since we approved your sponsorship application, you should
- email us (IRCC.INROCO-CORORI.IRCC@cic.gc.ca) or
- contact us using our web form
After we finalize an application, refugees typically land in Canada within 4 to 10 weeks. In some cases, they’re ready to travel sooner.
We tell you at least 10 business days before the refugees travel and arrive in Canada by sending you a Notification of Arrival Transmission (NAT).
