eligible to work after marriage/sponsorship

[acer925]

Im American and my fiance is canadian, we are getting married in Canada. She is going to try and sponsor me although she would not be able to prove income(I dont think income is an issue). 1.Will she be able to sponsor me after marriage without proving income and if so, how long after that can I expect to be able to work here? 2.If she cannot sponsor me, how long after marriage can I work in Canada via quickest possible way. Thanks.

Spousal sponsorships don't have to prove income/ability to support you.
You will be able to work when you become a PR or get a work permit, whichever comes first. If you already live in Canada, you can apply for an open work permit with an inland PR application, but because inland applications take longer than outland (among other disadvantages), it might not allow you to work any quicker than if you just wait until you have PR through an outland application.
