If your spouse is Canadian or PR, and you are married and/or meet common-law rules then that is the best route.

Not enough informaiton for any of us to really comment.

Whether EE is the best path depends on your NOC, CRS, and if you've taken the French language test (and how much you scored).

Whether PNP makes sense depends on the province you are in and if you meet the requirements of one of those progams. However generally these processing times are long.

If common law sponsorship makes sense depends on the evidence you have to show you have been cohabitating continuously for at least one full year.
