Spousal sponsorship

- Start date
As of December (three years in country), he can. He may have ability to apply a bit earlier depending what his status was before.
But get the citizenship application files/forms and start filling them out, that will be easiest way to clarify.
You should note there is a separate forum or sub-forum (whatever the proper terms are) for citizenship applications here. You'll get more up to date and accurate info for citizenship questions by posting there.Awesome. ThanksThis site is such a valuable resource!
Pay careful attention to details like when you can submit (specific dates), small errors can lead to big delays. Best to get the file right.
If you have filed your returns for 2019 and were working then, send the NOA for 2019 . If you are currently not working provide other documentation (Bank Savings, prospective future jobs chances, future financial plans, declaration of anyone who is willing to financially help you, etc etc) and a detailed explanation of how you plan to support yourself and the sponsored persons.
Does IRCC/CIC inform you by email in case they are sending back the application for missing document/signature/sponsor ineligibility? or do they just send back the application package back with no intimation of rejection for the missing document/signature/sponsor ineligibility
No, they dont inform in case of incomplete application/missing documents. They just return the application back. In some cases they are lenient with missing documents if they are not mandatory and are generally kind of supporting documents. If Signatures, Forms or any mandatory documents are missed expect it to be returned back. However, once you receive an Acknowledge of receipt (AOR) you will be informed about all the future updates. They will only start Sponsor Eligibility if your application is accepted so in this case you will informed.
You can always call them (CIC) and ask about the updates in case you haven't received the AOR within 3-4 months of submission. Sometimes they tell over the phone that an application is sent back due to any reasons.
Thanks. So, AOR1 confirms acceptance of documents and sponsor eligibility is determined after AOR1 if I understand correctly?
Thank you. one more question, I sent a photocopy of the PCC and was reading on forum that we need to send original PCC along with application package. Will my application be rejected for failure to send original PCC or will they ask me upload PCC through web form?
