I think I realize why they noted your salary and that she cannot speak English/French, even you both can speak Vietnamese.
They probably think that because she cannot speak English, she won't be able to find a job, and your salary $2700/month is low (I'm assuming that's before taxes?), that she will likely go on social assistance. An applicant can be refused a PR if he/she is unable or not willing to work and has to go on social assistance.
mikeymyke makes total sense and I did not thought about this. In the interview they did ask what my wife will do as a living but did not seems as important.
*** info sharing ***
My wife and I have landed in Canada this week and wanted to shared what is involved at the immigration entry port.
1) In the plane we received the usual Canada form where we entered who is traveling from where, when and usual question like did you bring stuff. (Here you enter your spouse as a person traveling with you ** living at the same address **)
2) At the customs entry port, they will detect that your spouse needs to go to the immigration section before exiting the custom section
3) We went at the immigration section where we waited our turn (a lot of agents so we did'nt wait) When we went at the counter, agent ask for passport to see visa and ask for COPR.
4) Agent will validate COPR information and ask spouse to SIGN COPR. Then agent will invalidate VISA in Passport and STITCH COPR into the passport and then will say something like "WELCOME TO CANADA" please not detach COPR from the passport until you receive PR card which will be sent to address within 6-8 weeks. Your spouse can now apply for Social Security Number
5) That's it! the whole process took 10 minutes!
6) ECAS changes Spouse Home Address to Canadian address once we have landed
Feels great and strange to have your spouse actually living in Canada with you but something that I wish for everyone here. Don't give up!
