Hello every body , I really need your advice because I am so confused
I am Egyptian 34 years , working as Doctor of physics in Cairo university , Egypt
I am married with Canadian girl 22 years old ( by birth ), and we have a child 2 months ago , My wife now needs to sponsor me
While checking the website of spousal immigration forum , I got confused because of many things
1- she does not work , and sorry to say we have no money ( we consumed all our money to marry each other)
2- she has no income , she is living in Egypt since she was 12 years old , now she needs to renew her passport and we heard that they will ask her in the embassy why she just now need to go Canada or to renew her passport
3- she has her uncle there , could he write a letter for us that we will stay with her and he will cover for example our costs , he knows our plans ...etc ?
4- her father or my father could deposit money in our bank account to help us till we being stablished in Canada?
5- what about me should I show my Egyptian salary details ?
6- our two months old child could have the Canadian passport. Or Canadian citizenship?

Thanks , please waiting your help

First priority should be to get her passport. There could be various reasons, i.e. wanting to travel to Canada, wanting to ensure she has Canadian-issued ID, because she has a child, etc. This shouldn't be a problem.

After that, I am not an expert but I think one of the big things they look at is whether the sponsor is well-established in Canada.
It sounds like she is not established in Canada at all. No work history, no address, etc.
You may wish to investigate having her Uncle (Canadian citizen?) sponsor you. Your wife does not have to be your sponsor.
But based on the requirements I needed to meet in order to sponsor my wife, again, I think they look heavily at how established the person is.

Your Egyptian salary details are important but first thing is your sponsor.
Your sponsor needs to be an established individual in Canada legally.

Have you considered going a different route than family class? Can you come to Canada based on your credentials? Have you considered perhaps looking for work in Canada or something? You have a PhD and you speak English well enough.

This is just my feeling based on experience, the questions, standards, requirements etc. from going through the process myself, etc.
An immigration lawyer will know muc better. Since you have a stable income you can consult with a lawyer first, this is another option.
