Hi all, first time poster here 
I (Canadian citizen) met my wife in Vietnam, and we both live and work in Singapore and were married here. We want to settle down in Canada, and were hoping to make the move in early-mid 2016. I have family to stay with and we have plenty of savings, but after going through the applications it says processing times for spouses abroad is up to 27 MONTHS in Singapore...!
Is this for real? Would it make more sense for us to just go to Canada to 'visit' with her on a tourist visa, and then apply from there? Or what is the best approach? We really don't want to wait over 2 years to start our lives together. Appreciate any suggestions...
