    Family PR status maintenance

    Assume I go to Canada and my wife does not come with me. So I maintain the PR status. If my wife's PR gets revoked can I sponsor her again, and if so should I wait for 2 years to do that? Also, can she come visit me in visitor's visa?

    Where to settle in Alberta?

    That is what I heard too. So in anycase my initial place to settle would be Alberta despite the slow economy to find a job. I work in the IT sector, so feel may still be able to get something.

    PR card name

    My legal first name has 16 letters. Looks like the capacity to print in PR card is just 15 letters. Except for the last missing letter in my first name everything else in my name matches my passport and CoPR document. Do I need to be worried about it?

    Where to settle in Alberta?

    I heard that if I move to some other province without making/showing effort to settle in the nominating province then there may be issues while renewing the PR. Is there some truth in this?

    My wife and I have obtained PR status in Canada, but both of us are currently outside Canada. Suppose only one of us move to Canada in time to maintain the 2 year in Canada out of 5 year obligation, would the other person be allowed entry into Canada at a later time even if the residency...
