Yes, it is better to have PR than be on a dependent visa. Out of curiosity, why did your wife choose Canada for her Phd? I am doing Phd in the US now.
i have no idea about the title. I think you need to manage people, budget, division , etc, not just projects. Project managers can also manage people, budget for a division, etc (not just for a project) so you need to make clear what you manage. Thats just my opinion, remember i am not an expert.
The main thing is to get the duties correct. My title is not the same as that of the NOC that i applied. What is worse is that there is another NOC that exist for my title, but CIO did say it is okay, but who knows the visa office might still reject it.
i am about to go off. pinne kanam.
