Some details:
Spouse is Indian citizen, I am Canadian citizen.
1) I met my spouse through online website last year in March 2017
2) Talked on phone, etc. for couple months. Then I went to India on June 2017 and met her.
3) Continued talking, and went again to India in Dec 2017 to meet her.
4) Marriage date finalized in Jan 2018
5) Got married in India last month April 2018
6) Now I am back in Canada, and she's still back in India
Note, in Feb 2018 she along with her parents applied for visitor visa to Canada so she could come visit me, but it got rejected for them without reason.
My question is, should I apply to sponsor my wife myself or use consultant/lawyer. I would have done it myself, but after her visitor visa rejection I am not so sure anymore. Do the rejection affect the sponsorship process? Obviously, I do not want any delay in the process and want her to be here asap.
