She will need to complete an x-ray in order to pass the medical and complete the application process. Most doctors recomment against having an x-ray done while pregnant - however it's ultimately up to you.

I understand..so what is a better way for me to sponsor my spouse?..i will sponsor her after she give birth?or can i already apply her while she is still pregnant so that we can maximize the time of waiting..

Thanks

I have a question about filling out IMM 5481 question 5. My husband who I'm sponsoring has 2 children under 19 that live with their mother. So they're not being spinsored
How do I fill this out?

Start now. It will save time.As you can do the medical after she gives birth.

Hi guys, I have a question from you guys I sponsored my husband in 2005. He came to Canada in 2006. He was abusive to me when he immigrated to Canada and in 2009 I had to call 911, he was charged by criminal charge( assault) at that time but never went to jail. Can he sponsor his spouse now? (considering the fact that he was charged by criminal charges in 2009)

Was he convicted (since you said that he did not serve any jail time)? If so, what was his sentence?

He can be deported and lose his own PR if he has been charged and convicted of assault. Because he is not a Canadian citizen, a crime that he committed after becoming a PR (especially something as serious as assault against his wife) makes him now inadmissible to Canada, since 10 years have not passed since the end of his sentence (whatever it was)...even if he's already in Canada.

Dear all,
My wife as my sponsor is currently in Montreal and she already sent sponsorship application on 5th April and was received by CIC on 8th April and yesterday the AOR is received and waiting for SA. My question is that my wife should reside during the whole process of sponsorship in Canada if everything goes well till finally I get my visa? We have filed our application as outland.
Thanks in advance for any hint and comment.

What is her country of birth?

I am a US citizen waiting for my application to be processed since Sept 2014. I came to Ottawa Nov. 2014, went back to NY to visit 12 days and came back. I have been here as a visitor ever since.

She can stay here as a visitor as long as she keeps her status up to date. If the application takes longer to process than the time she can legally stay as a visitor you will have to file for an extension to her visitor status. Since I don't know what country she is from I can't go more into detail but that is pretty much the idea.
