First time applicant marrying my wife in the Philippines soon

[CanadianCitizen314]

Hello,

I am a Canadian citizen and resident of Canada and am traveling to the Philippines for the second time to meet my fiancee and get married. We are getting married in the Philippines and are in the process of me sending her a notorized letter of invitation. I read a few threads here about spousal sponsorship and appreciate the information on this forum I learned that we plan to apply as outland applications most likely while she is living in the Philippines. We plan to save some receipts from our wedding and she recently got a passport which can be used for her documentation.

What else should we worry about? We don't plan on starting the application until we are married officially but don't want to have to wait 2 years by making mistakes we could have avoided.

Thank you

Marrying and meeting someone on the first visit may raise some eyebrows with CIC, how strong is your relationship background?
