Canada\u2019s spousal\u00a0sponsorship\u00a0program\u00a0<\/a>rebounded by 8.7 per cent in October after a slump in the number of\u00a0spouses\u00a0and common-law partners immigrating to the country in September, the latest data from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) reveals.<\/p>\n

In October, Canada had 5,145 new permanent residents through the spousal sponsorship program, up from 4,710 in September and 4,825 in August.<\/p>\n

The rebound in spousal sponsorships in October outpaced the 4.3 per cent increase in total monthly immigration which rose from 32,180 new permanent residents in September to 33,570 the following month.<\/p>\n

By the end of October, Canada had welcomed 64,760 new permanent residents under the\u00a0spousal\u00a0sponsorship\u00a0program.<\/p>\n

That puts the country on track, provided the current levels of spousal sponsorship arrivals maintain themselves, to welcome 77,713 spouses and common-law partners as permanent residents to Canada under the program by the end of the year.<\/p>\n

That level of\u00a0spousal\u00a0sponsorship\u00a0immigration would be 21.2 per cent higher than the 64,145 new permanent residents who immigrated to Canada under that program last year.<\/p>\n

After maintaining a level of 6,230 new permanent residents under the\u00a0spousal\u00a0sponsorship\u00a0program for each of the months of June and July when total monthly immigration to Canada topped 40,000 new permanent residents, the level of\u00a0spouses\u00a0and common-law partners fell by 22.5 per cent in August.<\/p>\n

That same month, total monthly immigration to Canada also fell by 13.8 per cent to 35,055 new permanent residents.<\/p>\n
