Khaffin just a friendly word of advice to you ... don't believe everything you read on sites like this whatever you do ... inland spousal sponsored applications rarely, if ever, take less than between 18 months and 2 years to complete (mine is simple and straight forward and is still not complete). Find your nearest YMCA - they have Immigration Advice Centres linked to them, and they will give you accurate advice for free on how long it might likely take in your case. They are also very helpful in many other areas for newcomers to Canada.
