Sponsoring my Filipina Wife:

[abdull]

Hello everyone:
I am a Canadian Citizen. I just got married in the Philippines. My wife is still in the Philippines (Manila), and I want to sponsor her to come and live with me in Canada. I would like someone please to help me with my sponsorship application. I have the following questions:
1- Is there a dead line for starting and submitting the sponsorship application to the Mississauga processing center (How long before i can apply- i am thinking of applying this December, because i am still waiting for my wife to get all her required documents)?
2- What are the required documents for me and for my wife to complete and submit our application together? (Please i need a list)
3- How much is the total fees for the sponsorship application?
4- How many photos and in what format should i include in our application?
5- I heard that, i should wait until my wife gets her all documents(ie Passport, Medical exam, Security check, etc..) and fill her part of the Sponsorship application, and send it to me in Canada, then i should fill my part and send both parts of the Sponsorship application with all the documents together to the Mississauga processing center. Is that true?

I really appreciate any help you can give me. Specially,If there is some one that went through the same situation i am going through now, would be extremely helpful if you can lend me a hand. Thank you in advance and God Bless

So don't be shy and ask lots of questions!

Can someone explain this to me? I MARRIED my wife in manila, and want to sponsor her to canada, and when checking the goverIf you are married

You can sponsor the person as your spouse if your marriage is a legally valid civil marriage. If your spouse is of the:
•opposite sex and your marriage took place outside Canada, the marriage must be valid both under the laws of the jurisdiction where it took place and under Canadian law;
The part I need to clarify is how do I know, and how do get the marriage "valid under the laws of Canada"?
