Spousal Sponsorship CIC with old forms.

[Marksman222]

Hi recently CIC announced faster processing times for spouse sponsorship, and that new forms will drop on December 15 to make sponsoring your spouses easier and faster.

My question is I have the old forms (ones before the new ones on december 15) will I still have the benefit of the 12 month processing time or do I have to send the form which is received on December 15, when I check the CIC processing times there is an option saying whether I applied before Dec 7 or after Dec 7, and when I say after Dec 7 (I haven't applied yet) it says 12 months, but will this apply for old forms as well? Sorry if it sounds confusing, hopefully someone can help me out, thanks!

Since I had already started everything will old sponsorship forms, my question is I have the old application forms for spouse sponsorship and I submit it, will it still have the 12 month benefit or does it have to be the new forms?

It doesn't matter which set of forms you use.
