Spousal sponsorship

It clearly states in English or French so any other language and you will need to have it translated by a certified translator. I had to get my messages and emails translated so I just screenshot the messages and sent those to the translator who then did the translation and provided me with the cover page and stamped translations which I put in my package along with the originals. It sucks and it's costly but nothing about sponsorship is free and the more you have everything at the beginning the faster it will be because they will likely send your application back if it's missing something, or they'll send you an ADR in which will slow down your processing because it adds an extra step.
Hi,
I Have applied for a Spousal application I got the Pre-arrival mail on July 13th, Can anyone help me to understand how long does it take to get a passport submission request (timeline) or any other process is left over.
Receiving a pre-arrival request what does it mean? Any chances application can get rejected.? Does it mean the application process is in the final stage?
Application Received: January 8th, 2021
Started processing: May 10, 2021
Pre-Arrival letter: July 13, 2021

Is everyone paying the right of permanent residence fee ($500) in advance while submitting the application or paying at a later stage ?
No, I did not. No need to pay in full if you don't want to but I did it after receiving the temporary number (XF-AOR) just to avoid delay. I did that even for biometrics.
Paying in full does not accelerate the process. A contrario, delay payment can delay the process.
This is so ridiculous...frustrating and delaying peoples lives for nothing....Almost 3 years. JEEZ
Hello, I'm in big confusion as I'm preparing to sponsor my wife from Russia, hear my story :
We met in 2018 during world Cup after that we continue to talk in Skype for one year, and then by late 2019 she made me visa invitation to Russia but i was rejected due to some administrative issues, then by beginning of 2020 i immigrate to Canada (from Algeria) and made her invitation to come to me in middle of pandemic, her visa got rejected by IRCC after 8 months of waiting time, then we decided to meet in Turkey since Russian borders was closed to Canadian, in Turkey we got married and i traveled with her in Russia to meet her family using Euro 2020 fan ID as visa, but now i read that marrying from first meeting is a red flag, I'm in big confusion, i want to bring her ASAP especially she's already pregnant, it's better to apply for sponsorship now or make another trip to her ? Thank you so much

Mine's still in Nova Scotia I guess. Never got any message saying that the file was transferred.
Hello Members
I am a Canadian PR holders since Dec 2019, did my landing in Jan 2020 & returned to my home country shortly thereafter.
I got married in Feb of 2020 on my return, currently my spouse wants to apply for a visitor visa to assist a cousin during her medical illness.
I am not in Canada & haven't been since my return from Jan 2020, will IRCC approve of her visa under compassionate grounds??

Appreciate your detailed response and sharing your own experience. Did you translate all your messages ? If no, How many pages of your translated messages did you send with your application ?
When I export our chats, I will have more than 100 pages in PDF. I am ready to pay for it. However, the requirement says maximum 10 pages with your application. This is where I am getting confused.

Hi,
They received my application on Apr 28/2020, biometrics were done on Dec/2020, pre-Arrival letter was received on Jul/2021, medical done on Aug/2021 and status changed to Decision Made on Sep 13/2021
Most likely not since she is not an immediate or extended relative. However she can certainly try.
