Need help to prepare application

[PhdStream]

Sorry for multiple posting.

I am in need of advice. I am a Canadian PR and about to marry my would be wife who is living in London (both are from Nepal, she is a student living with her British parent). We were introduced by my cousin this September and things went well between us. We decided to get married, hopefully in Feb next year. We are planning to have traditional (simple) ceremony back home in the presence of our family, relatives and friends. We have not met yet but are in constant touch (24x7) through viber, skype.... After our marriage I will be back to Canada to continue my PhD study and she will also visit here for a week if everything goes well and then back to London to continue her post-graduate study.

I would like to request this thread members, how can I prepare to sponsor her, through LVO. What short of documents that would be best to make processing smooth. I am aware of process and documents required for spousal sponsorship. However there are several grey area, so I hope I can get a proper idea. The fact that we wont be meeting in person before wedding is negative, if yes how can we tackle this?
also if any of you you have similar experience then please do suggest do/dont based on your experience.

Thanks in advance for your time and suggestions.

Yes, this will be a huge red flag. Are arranged marriages or incredibly quick ones like this, common in Nepal?

If not, you will need to give the visa officer a very good explanation as to why you don't want to go the "normal" route of meeting and spending time with each other first, before committing to getting married and spending your lives together. No matter what you include or write in your application, there is always the chance the visa officer will think you are marrying only for immigration purposes (marriage of convenience). As such I would expect a longer than usual processing time.

Honestly you would be much better off meeting a couple times first, then getting married and applying for PR.

Make sure you have call recordings of skype and viber to prove your relationship.

If you have chat records you should put them all as well. Someone said they put 1500 pages of chat transcript.

Arranged marriages are common in Nepal.

Arranged marriages are common in Nepal.

In that case as long as all the sections that specifically ask about arranged marriages and being introduced by family (in form Sponsored Spouse/Partner Questionnaire IMM5490) is explained in detail, there shouldn't be much of an issue.
