1. Can i sponsor my husband as i am not working ?
You can since there is no restriction of income in family class[spouse]
2. Do i need his original educational documents ?
According to the guide book for Pakistani applicants you do.

This page contains all your forms [for you & your husband]. Detail information for Pakistani applicants available under General Asia [IMM 3907] (PDF, 801 KB)

WASALAM, CAN YOU TELL WHAT IS THE MEANING OF BACKGROUND CHECKS BEFORE RE-MEDICAL, IS THAT THEY ARE DOING PAKISTANI DOCUMENT CHECKS (I.E EDUCATION, JOB, NADRA ID, PASSPORT ETC) OR CANADIAN SECURITY CHECKS. I KNOW AFTER RE-MEDICAL THE BACKGROUND CHECKS MEANS SECURITY CHECKS RIGHT.
THE MESSAGE I RECEIVED FROM CHC LONDON IS >> YOUR FILE IS UNDERGOING BACKGROUND CHECKS AND AWAIT THE REVIEW OF AN OFFICER. WHATS THAT MEAN THE FILE IS UNDER BACKGROUND CHECKS OR IS GOING INTO BACKGROUND CHECKS SOON
THANKS

Salam, its means they are doing background checks on all things it could include Education, or Security Checks. I see your application is 2012 so maybe they will need Police Certificate and new Medical as well. At least they are working on your case. I pray you get good news soon In Sha Allah......

The reason behind move out >> Canada sells London embassy building for $530 million

http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2013/11/29/canada_sells_london_embassy_building_for_530_million.html

OTTAWA—Canada has sold a large embassy building in London's luxury Mayfair district to Indian developer Lodha Dwellers Pvt Ltd for $530 million, the Canadian foreign ministry said.
Canada wanted to dispose of the large six-storey building, the Canadian High Commission, in Grosvenor Square because it plans to consolidate all diplomatic activities in another official Canadian property on Trafalgar Square. Canada was advised by Savills PLC.
Foreign embassies are abandoning London's premier addresses such as Mayfair and Kensington as the world of diplomacy changes in the face of security risks and new technology.
The sale also reflects the Conservative government's desire to put the Canadian foreign service on a more business-oriented footing, in part by disposing of its more opulent buildings.
Canada disposed of its mansion-like residence in Dublin in 2008 and is trying to sell the ambassador's house in Rome.

First of all you need to be a Canadian Citizen to apply, second your spouse who you are sponsoring must sign a form that called a represented and you ask for Access to Information and you must pay $5.00 it takes about 30 days. In Sha Allah

A.A! Hoping u all will be fine and having good health. I inquired from LVO through e-mail and their reply (about a week ago) is as under.
“Dear Applicant,
We are writing with regards to your application for permanent residence in Canada.
We haven't sent you a passport request. Please note that this file is still ongoing routine background checks.
We will be in touch when they are complete."


Kindly share experience how much further time it takes to complete routine background checks, pls?
