Applicants should be aware that as of January 17, 2014, inland spousal sponsorship applications are to be filed and processed by the Case Processing Centre in Mississauga (CPC-M). CPC-M will also process concurrent work permit applications for spousal applicants filed with the sponsorships and issued upon first stage approval being granted for the sponsorship. The relevant operational bulletin is linked below:

As such, Applicants under this category must be aware that certain guides and information on the Internet (even from CIC sources), which refer to the Case Processing Centre in Vegreville (CPC-V), as being the processing centre for applications of this type are outdated. If an application is sent to CPC-V it will be returned and valuable processing time could be lost.
