Situation
I am already in Canada i have a job and i am planning to sponsor my spouse for PR.
We have been married for over 5 years now
My spouse is not in Canada
Assumption
Fast forward in future and assume his PR is approved
Primary Question
Will my spouse get an independent PR
Will it be valid for 5 years from date of soft landing with 2 year minimum stay during 5 years to qualify for extension/renewal
Secondary Questions
Will it make sense to apply for work permit for my spouse while we wait for PR to be approved ?
Is the process of work permit faster compared to getting a PR
Appreciate any help
