Program delivery update: Corrections to the French version of the procedures for the R117(9)(d)/R125(1)(d) pilot

November 21, 2019

A correction was made to the French version under the Eligibility section to be in line with the English version. The correction clarifies that the public policy applies if the sponsor was granted permanent residence status in Canada as a “dependant” of a resettled refugee or protected person, where “dependant” includes a spouse or a common-law partner and dependent children. As a result, “enfants à charge” was replaced with “personnes à charge”.

Updated instructions

• Pilot program to exempt permanent residence applicants in the family class or the spouse or common-law partner in Canada (SCLPC) class from paragraph R117(9)(d) or R125(1)(d) exclusion
