I have seen couple applicants AOR delayed by 1 month when applied online. But, I still applied online.

I am getting married in Feb 2022, is there something I should prepare as far as documentation is concerned, so that I could apply PR sponsorship for my wife?
Any directions or link to the document required for spousal sponsorship?

Getting married next week, I’m wondering have most of used the help of an immigration lawyer?

Create an online profile, answer few questions and it will point you in right direction.

Start gathering all the info you might need. Download the checklist from the IRCC website and start collecting the proof you will need for your relationship. My husband and I got married in August 2021 and didn't submit until Dec. It took us 4 months to get all of our stuff together and that was being organized. Things are slower now during Covid so things like criminal record checks and birth certificates (if you lost yours like my husband did) take longer to process.

Depends on the complexity of your application. Most people don't use a lawyer, nor do they need one. Just follow the Guide and you will be fine. This forum is great for any questions you may have while putting your app together.

Like @kk240391 said, the online apps are lagging about a month for AOR1 (averaging ~65 days for paper and ~100 days for online). From the data it seems they start catching up with paper apps during the biometrics/medical requests. Beyond that we don't know as it is a pilot program and was only launched a few months ago.

thank you

Also can someone clarify, I read somewhere that if you haven’t been married for 2 years it makes the process more difficult to convince the IRCC that it’s genuine? I been dating (long distance) since 2018 does that count? Been many time to his country pre pandemic
