Hello,
I am a Canadian citizen and got married is September 2016. I tried to bring my wife as a visitor to Canada but that did not work.
We moved to UK for a while and now we are in Romania (country of birth for both).
Should I start to sponsor my wife now, or should I wait until September this year?
I've heard that if you are married for more than two years chances for the sponsorship process to be faster are higher.
Is that correct?

Hello,
Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.
Unfortunately, we are unable to provide a definitive response regarding the statement related to length of time of marriage.
In terms of sponsoring a spouse, as a Canadian Citizen from outside Canada, you can find some information in our Settlement.Org How do I sponsor a spouse, common-law or conjugal partner, or dependent child living outside of Canada? article.
It is important to note that if you are a Canadian citizen not residing in Canada, you may sponsor your spouse, common-law or conjugal partner and/or dependent children who have no dependent children of their own. You must demonstrate that you will live in Canada once they become a permanent resident.
You can find some additional information on the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) website in the Sponsor your spouse, common-law partner, conjugal partner or dependent child Complete Guide (IMM 5289) section.
I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
