How do I withdraw my application for family sponsorship?

Send us your request using this Web form.

In the text field, include:

• Your name,
• Your date of birth,
• Your complete address,
• The date the application was sent,
• Your client ID number (if available),
• The type of application (for example, sponsorship of my spouse),
• The reason for the withdrawal.

In the Web form, upload:

• A copy of the electronic payment receipt,

  or

• a copy of both sides of the payment receipt (form IMM 5401).

Note: If your sponsored relative becomes a permanent resident before we get your cancellation request, we can’t cancel your application. You will have to respect your sponsorship obligations.
