you must realize ,these cic officer or ircc jobs are hard they have to weed out whose fake and who is real in the spousal sponsorship because fake marriages have slipped by before. I would not want to be cic officer did you send as much proof if relationship because sometimes there is red Flag's I sponsored my husband through inland spousal sponsorship we started on December 15,2015 and they started processing it on January 14,2016 my husband on March 6 2017 got proof of relationship request which we send it in that and we made our case so strong that they did no interview,March 10 2017 I got spousal sponsorship approval, April 21 2017 my husband got Approval in principal and on April 28 2017 my husband has his landing interview in cic Etobicoke office and our marriage is genuine that is why they have to make it tough plus my husband is from portugal which is in Europe which is visa exempt you must understand why they are like this they have there gut feelings and if you send enough proof no interview
But your application was inland. Your husband already living with you in Canada. Red flags or no red flags, certain countries that have history of other applicants faking marriages for visas make it difficult for genuine marriages. This person looking for help, what the next steps are. It's awesome that your husband came from a visa exempt, and got no interview and got a landing interview. Congratulations.
Visa officers also make mistakes. They are human.

What province are you in? Where you live depends on length of wait for appeal. What other reasons did Visa Officer say was reasons for refusal? Can any of these reasons be easily fixed? People on here can help you and your wife much better with more information. In the mean time, you have to keep visiting your wife. Did any family meet her? Keep photos and receipts of trips..phone call & skype. Anything that is supportive of your relationship. Perhaps if the reason of refusal is small, you can apply for an ADR. ADR is an hour long discussion about your case which also happens faster than an appeal. Not everyone gets ADR, not all are successful. But you can still appeal if it fails.
Go back about 2 years on this appeals thread & read all posts. You will gain a better understanding of how the process works..
Best wishes for your wife & you
