You can but you will have to explain how you plan on supporting her

Please guide me if you can, on how to explain CIC to support my wife.

and what other elements I can use to convince to support them.

thanks

You can discuss your plans for your life with your wife together in Canada. You can discuss where you will live and how you will support yourselves. You don't have a job yet, but presumably will get one soon, so you can say what jobs you and your wife want, what qualifications you have for them, and any proof you have that you are looking for such a job. You can also discuss where you will live: for example, if family members have offered you a place to stay rent-free until you get settled, mention this, and attach an affidavit from the relative explaining they will support you at first.

THe PR validity can not be extended. So if you and your family don't land before the date stated, then you will have to do the whole process again. You can choose to land, and go back to India, but if your family is not with you, then they will loose the PR - there is no way to extend it.
You will have to sponsor them again from start, and it might be hard to convince CIC that this time you will settle in Canada.

The best would be to land before the date, all of you together, and then go back to India if you wish. As long as your family stays in Canada 2 out of 5 years, they will maintain their PR... so an option for you would be to travel all together, land, go back to India. They stay in India, you come back to Canada and establish yourself, and they join you a little later (just make sure that they are present 2 out of 5 years).

Sin can be done the same day, bank account it depends but pretty much the same day.... health insurance and children benefits, I am not sure as it depends on your province.

Good luck,
Sweden

Hello Mr. Luke from India.
I'm Mr. Tuyen from Canada.
It appears Mr. Leon (from location unknown) has already answered this question when you posted it 10 days ago:

http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/spousal-sponsorship-t46995.0.html;msg1878189#msg1878189

The strange thing is that 10 days ago, you said you had 3 children.

He also changed the date of when the visas expire!

 

[tuyen]

He also changed the date of when the visas expire!

I know...but I was willing to give him a pass on that because December and January are so close, and I figured he meant "visa expires in December 2012" which can be the same thing as "by January 2013 it's no good anymore".
