Bringing spouse to canada

[amt15]

Hi,I already hold my PR and did my soft landing. I am getting married this year. My future spouse wants to apply for PR separately so that we can move to canada together without living separate during spousal sponsorship. Is this possible?

Unfortunately, that is impossible. As a PR, you need to remain in Canada during the whole process of sponsorship. The only way it may work is to apply a TRV for your spouse, then she/he can come here as a VISITOR and to live with you.

I think you misunderstood the OP question. I believe their wife wants to apply via an economic stream and when her PR is approved both her and the OP will relocate to Canada and not that they were querying spousal Sponsorship

Hello,
I applied for spouse visa in September 2018. Now they are demanding for remedical. Does any body knows how much time it will take more for final approval?

Yes - it's possible. Your spouse would need to qualify on their own through an economic immigration stream like Express Entry. They will get no points for having you as a spouse in Canada. So they will have to qualify for economic immigration entirely on their own. If they go the Express Entry route, right now they would need to have around 470 points to be selected. Have they calculated their points yet? If direct Express Entry is not possible, they will have to look into the PNP programs.

It's certainly possible if OP's spouse applies through an economic immigration stream.

Thanks. So my spouse can apply through express entry separately.
