[PSRList] 2017 Sponsorship Cost Table and Form Changes

[Melissa Scott]

Dear Sponsors,

We would like to inform you that Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has updated the Sponsorship Cost Table. These updates are now live in the following guide:

Refugee Sponsorship Application Guide [IMM 5413]<http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5413ETOC.asp> - Appendix A: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5413ETOC.asp#appa.


The following forms for Groups of Five and Community Sponsors have been changed to reflect the updated Sponsorship Cost Table amounts:


1.       Settlement Plan - Group of Five [IMM 5373A] (PDF, 1.21 MB)<http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5373AE.pdf>


2.       Settlement Plan and Financial Assessment - Community Sponsors [IMM 5515] (PDF, 1.45 MB)<http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5515E.pdf>


The 2017 Sponsorship Cost Table and In-Kind Deduction Table amounts were slightly increased due to the addition of a housing supplement of $75/month for single individuals and $100/month for families (amounting to $900 or $1200 extra annually).

Please be advised that there will be a short grace period until May 1st, 2017. Any applications received by IRCC as of May 1st, 2017 must have the new form version for the IMM5373A/IMM5515 and will be assessed using the updated Sponsorship Cost Table amounts. Old forms versions will not be accepted after April 30th, 2017.

If you have any questions about these changes, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Best regards,

Melissa
