New immigrant sponsoring spouse

[faraz614]

Hi,

I am from Pakistan and I got my immigration to Canada under Federal express entry program in September 2017. I landed in canada in October 2017.

I came back to Pakistan 5 days ago and got married. i now need to sponsor my wife under the family class sponsorship. can someone please guide me to:

1) check list of documents ( for both me and wife)
2) Is the application online or paper based?

If anyone can help me with the above questions, i ll be really grateful, as we are really worried about the whole process.

First thing I’ll say is that as a PR, you must be in Canada to sponsor your wife, and must remain in Canada for the entire process.

And yes it’s a paper application, online is not an option.

How long have you been with your wife before marrying her?
