Oversea Spouse Sponsorship Timeline

[ft1222]

hi, I live oversea currently and I would like to sponsor my spouse for Canadian permanent residency. I would like to ask if anyone can share the time it takes of the application process and once after the sponsorship is approved, how long does the visa valid for before we are required to move back to Canada?

Thanks a lot.
