Hi guys
Need some info regarding spousal sponsorship for pakistanis
How long on average does it take? A full one year?
Also if the case is nikah only does it complicate the case and takes time to get approved?

What is the minimum size limit to upload a file through webform
And
To send through email?
Typically in email, you can upload up to 25MB of attachment whereas in the webform files must be 2 MB or smaller (if you include multiple files, the total size must be 3.5 MB or smaller and in PDF, JPEG, TIFF, DOC, or DOCX formats).

You are May 2018 applicant, did you get any PFL or submitting documents voluntarily (if you don't mind sharing please)?

80% of applications are completed in 12 months. Nikkah only usually takes a bit longer, but don't forget LVO is unpredictable :)

For those who received additional doc request or request for payment, how long did it take for them to be reviewed?

Did your status change in GC Key after they looked at the docs?

Our current status is "The additional documents your provided have been uploaded."

Which additional documents were requested? Were they requested recently after the pre arrival letter?
It was repayment of removal fees which we paid on the same day. They asked to upload the reciept on GC key which we did.

It was requested after pre-arrival.

Sorry, What is repayment of removal fee?
My spouse had an exclusion order and had to leave Canada a couple of years ago. The removal fee is the cost the government paid for the flight back to Pakistan.
