You asked, we answer! On our recent trip to Indonesia, we've been receiving a lot of the same questions at every city. So we added a quick Q&A section to our 'timelines' website. Hope it helps! Here's the page: https://www.northernlightscanada.net/resources/timelines-for-private-sponsorship

As for the question that every non-sponsored person is asking - "Can you bring me to Canada" - the answer is sadly no. The Group of 5 program, which we used to sponsor nearly everyone else, was paused on October 2024, and not even Immigration knows when it's coming back.

Sponsorship Agreement Holders (SAHs) can still apply to bring refugees to Canada, but they have mostly used up their spots for 2026. Here's a guide to finding an SAH spot (which is like saying "here's a guide to winning the lottery"): https://www.northernlightscanada.net/resources/how-to-get-a-sah-spot
