Does previous history of PTA block the spouse sponsorship

[hsperhar]

Hi,
Last year, I was on PTA, while working for one government organization for six months.After that I joined an independent firm and from there I am enjoying a respectful salary and benefits.
Recently I got married and want to sponsor my wife, currently living outside the Canada. I have some questions:
1. Since I was on PTA, I am not eligible to sponsor my spouse?
2. I will go to another country for just 15-20 days to get married (as that's the maximum time I am getting from my job) and my potential wife has already selected in my community. Now, my question is if this would create any problem in her immigration process. If so, then what proof immigration office would need to get satisfied?
Thank you in advance for your expert replies.

Regards

By PTA I think you mean Partial Temporary Assistance?  As long as you are not on social assistance now, you will not have a problem sponsoring your spouse.

I don't understand your wording "my potential wife has already been selected in the community."  Without understanding what you mean, I can't answer your question.  I think you might mean something to do with an arranged marriage but I am not sure.  If that is the case, you would have to provide proof of how and by whom it was arranged.  I don't know much about arranged marriages.

That post is weird all around. He says he "recently got married" and wants to "sponsor his wife" and then in the next sentence he's going "to another country to get married"? So, is he married or not?

I think it is an arranged marriage. Those are accepted, just gather all the proof you can. It's probably best if you go over the questions on the forms, to get an idea of the things you will need to answer. These are the forms you will need: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/fc.asp
Assuming this is a traditional arranged marriage, try to get as much evidence as you can - photos from the wedding, if you'll have any kind of engagement party, photos of anything that is traditional with this sort of things. I really don't know much about how it goes. But the more you gather, the smaller the chances of your wife needing an interview later on.
