Did you call CIC and they explained what additional documents are required? Just curious - in your case, case processing officer didn't have Sponsorship approval letter (SA)?
Thanks!

They starte working on my case before december 2016 and th decision made on spouse sponsership like a month ago
So probably just over thinking but its just so hard as I wait.
I just applied start of November and the package was received November 10th. Now I am just waiting to hear something. I know most people say 4 to 6 weeks for the first aor1. Which it's basically 5 weeks now.
However.. We printed and uploaded all forms 2nd week in October during my time in India. We filled it out then printed and had it all signed. I never noticed that they updated 3 of the forms later in October. They never posted a notice about this or said older forms wouldn't be allowed like they did with previous forms. So will our application still be accepted? Because of this small mistake i am freaking out that they sent it back. And maybe I'm just over thinking in.
Any advice to an over thinking newbie in this journey with you all?

Guys .... Whenever you apply for GC notes, the the "Review of additional documents" status does change to "We need more documents to continue processing your application. We will send you a message with more details."
I called the CIC helpline and asked for the reason for same. And they explained that these status are kind of designed to provide information in both ways, ie from CIC side as well as the applicant / representative side.
The GC notes are generated from a case management system which is used by different ministries in Canada. Citizenship & Immigration in Canada (CIC) being just one of the ministry (in list of many) to use the case management system. So when you apply for GC notes, you are demanding the additional documents from CIC. Hence the status shows more documents needed to continue processing.
FYI .... the processing time for your application in CIC .... IS NOT AFFECTED .... because you have applied for GC notes. As this case management system & notes generation runs parallel to the application processing.
It will show IN PROCESS .... as generally the process is deemed complete only when the PA and dependents cross Canadian borders and are issued PR cards. So do not get worried about the status and all. Be happy and delighted that decision is made. And you can expect Passport Request with in next 2 weeks.
STOP thinking !! Your date of application is 10-Nov-2017. So calculate another 6-8 weeks (and completely ignore entire Xmas - New year time .... ie from 23-Dec-2018 to 02-Jan-2018) for any correspondence from CIC regarding your application. Think less, have patience, you have very long to go.
OK, there are lot many points which flag up for your situation;
To answer your question, when we read through sections in application manual, it seems like it is kind of expected for the sponsor to be in Canada while filing the sponsorship application. Hence there is large number of income-based documents demanded from the sponsor. As you are the sponsor in this case, you are expected to provide with your Canadian Income Proof (which is expected to be more than 60K CAD$ per annum), Canada tax returns (proving you pay tax on income more than 60K CAD per annum), your fixed address in Canada, your employment details in Canada etc. As a sponsor are held responsible for the person you sponsored for 3 years;

Now considering you were living outside Canada for 7 years, I am not sure how can you move ahead with this. As your case is a bit different from usual, I would rather recommend seeking a consultation from a good, high end, knowledgeable, Canadian Immigration Lawyer (not an immigration consultant, or agency - but a complete LLB degree holder, experienced lawyer) who will not only represent your application to CIC from day one, but will also be legally responsible if anything goes wrong in your application.
Many of the usual things we as a sponsor face, like proving our relationship to our respective spouse, do not apply in your case. As you were married for more than 2 years and had been cohabiting with your spouse for more than 2 years. So some of the documentation would be easy for you. However, your geographic location (being away from Canada) could be a source of pain for you. Hence a lawyer should be a recommended way ahead.
Hey Amigos,
My telephone enquiry says you do not need interview. We are currently reviewing eligibility criteria.
My question is my interview is waived because they are saying you don’t need interview??? OR they can call for interview irrespective of current status????
Thanks
