Get Your Spousal Sponsorship Application Back on Track
Has IRCC returned your spousal sponsorship application? While receiving your package back can be frustrating, it does not necessarily mean your sponsorship journey is over. Many applications are returned because of missing documents, incomplete forms, unsigned declarations, or other administrative issues that can often be corrected before resubmitting.
At Fairworld Immigration, we help couples understand why their application was returned, identify any missing requirements, and prepare a complete application for resubmission.

Has Your Spousal Sponsorship Application Been Returned?
Having your application returned by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) can delay your plans to reunite with your spouse or partner. In many cases, IRCC returns applications before processing begins because required information or supporting documents are missing.
The good news is that most returned applications can be corrected and submitted again.
Before sending your application back, it is important to understand exactly why it was returned and ensure every issue has been addressed. Simply resubmitting the same package without making the necessary corrections may result in another return and further delays.
Our experienced RCIC will review your returned application and help you prepare a stronger, complete submission.
Why Does IRCC Return Spousal Sponsorship Applications?
Applications may be returned for a variety of reasons, including:
- Missing signatures
- Incomplete or outdated application forms
- Missing supporting documents
- Incorrect government fee payments
- Missing relationship evidence
- Missing identity or civil status documents
- Incorrect translations or uncertified documents
- Missing police certificates or medical documentation where required
- Incomplete sponsorship forms
- Applications that do not meet IRCC submission requirements
Many of these issues can be corrected before resubmitting your application.
What Should You Do After Your Application Is Returned?
Receiving your application back does not mean you should immediately send it again.
Instead, you should:
- Carefully review IRCC’s return letter
- Identify every missing document or deficiency
- Verify that all forms are the latest versions
- Update any expired documents
- Review your relationship evidence
- Ensure every required signature has been completed
- Confirm that government fees have been paid correctly
Taking the time to prepare a complete application can help reduce additional delays.
