Are you planning to sponsor your spouse to join you in Canada from Pakistan? If yes, you’re probably wondering how long the Canada spouse visa processing time from Pakistan in 2025 might take. This article will provide updated insights, tips to speed up the process, and what Pakistani applicants should expect.
The Canadian Spouse Visa allows Canadian citizens and permanent residents to sponsor their legally married partner from abroad. This is part of the Family Class Sponsorship under IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada). In Pakistan, most applications are considered outland sponsorships.
As of 2025, the average processing time for a spouse visa from Pakistan to Canada is 10 to 13 months.
Submission to IRCC: Application and biometric enrollment.
Sponsorship Approval: IRCC assesses the sponsor (usually takes 1-2 months).
Relationship Verification & Background Checks: The most time-consuming part (6–9 months).
Final Decision & Passport Request: Once approved, the applicant is invited to submit their passport.
🕓 Please note: Processing times can vary based on document completeness, security screening, and any additional requests by IRCC.
✅ Submit a complete and accurate application
✅ Provide strong relationship proof (photos, chats, calls, visits)
✅ Keep police certificates and medical exams ready
✅ Use an authorized immigration consultant to avoid errors
✅ Respond quickly to any IRCC updates or additional document requests
