For sponsoring a spouse, is it necessary to show that one is working? I am landing back in Canada after my marriage and i do not have a job. Can i still start the sponsorship process? Any financial documents required?

There is no minimum income to sponsor a spouse but you must not be on welfare or in bankruptcy.

Hi everyone
Thank you for your suggestions and advices in advance.
My name is Zahir and I plan to get married next year .and I will put my file after marriage.
My wife is from Algeria and I have the Canadian passport.
My wife have a married sister in montreal and she have the long term visitor visa (10 years) from her sister .
So I am thinking to get married next January and send my sponsorship file and ask my wife to come to canada with her long visitor visa while waiting to proceed my sponsor application
My question if this is legal and don't affect my sponsor application.
Thank you for your responses.

You can check out my profile to see my timeline BUT I can tell you that things have really slowed down since I submitted in March. I know of people into their 3rd month without AOR yet.
Thanks! Wasn't the answer I was hoping for :) Good things come to those who wait.......patience is a virtue........Hope is eternal. All of that.

As much as you think is good
I attached 300 pages that was an overkill but I had to because my situation was different
IRCC says you need to submit 10 pages from different times of the relationship
