When I hear sponsorship, there are two flavours, chocolate and vanilla, overseas and inland. I assume we're not extending Canadian resources to protect the overseas sponsor. If it's just inland, inland processing times are about 18 months to 24 months. It's case-by-case adjudication.

The government has already provided a solution. The policy is to consider an extension of it to this deserving group.
