I assume you're talking about skilled worker immigration, not family class sponsorship.

Only you can decide depending on your circumstances, but here are some important facts:

1. If you are already living with your fiancé / boy/girl friend for more than 1 year, you have to include them on your application as a common-law partner. Even if you aren't common-law already, you're better off marrying before becoming a PR, and including your spouse as a dependent. The other way round, you would have to remain in Canada (separated from your spouse) in order to sponsor them for PR.

2. If you become a PR, you need to maintain the residency obligation, 730 days (2 years) out of 5 must be spent in Canada. Other than that, you are free to travel for the remaining 3 years-worth of time. That gives you plenty of flexibility.

There is no time barrier to apply to sponsor your spouse but like matthewc has said, you would have to be in Canada to sponsor your spouse. That means you go back and marry and then you must return to Canada to file for sponsorship. You will be separated from your spouse for several months while the application is being processed.

so can u guide me with an overall view that what should i do and what will be in the best interest for me

you can travel as soon as you get your PR card. As mathewc said you have to reside in Canada for 730 days in a 5 year period, that does not mean you cannot travel for the first 2 years, it simply means you must be in Canada for that amount of days in the first 5 years. After you marry and come back to Canada to sponsor your spouse, you can still travel back and forth if you like until he obtains PR status.

Canadian Residency Obligations

Canadian Permanent Residents have the right to enter and live in Canada.
Canadian Permanent Residents must meet certain residency obligations or they may lose their Permanent Resident status. Two years of "residency days" must be accumulated in every five-year period. Residency days need not be consecutive and may be accumulated inside or even outside of Canada, in the following ways:

Inside Canada:

By physical presence

Outside of Canada:

By accompanying a Canadian citizen spouse/common-law partner, or
As a child accompanying a parent, or
By employment on a full-time basis with a Canadian enterprise or the Public Service of Canada, or
By accompanying a Canadian Permanent Resident who is outside Canada and who is employed on a full-time basis by a Canadian enterprise or the Public Service of Canada, as the employee's spouse/common-law partner or child.

Prior to June 28, 2002, Canadian Permanent Residents could, in certain circumstances, obtain Returning Resident Permits that allowed the holder to remain abroad for a given length of time. Returning Resident Permits are no longer available, but any time remaining on a previously issued permit will be honoured. Moreover, days that have been spent outside of Canada under a valid Returning Resident Permit are accounted as residency days.

The calculation of residency days for a person who has been a Canadian Permanent Resident for more than five years will be limited to the five years immediately preceding the examination. Persons who have been Canadian Permanent Residents for less than five years must demonstrate that they will be able to meet the residency requirement during the five-year period immediately following their becoming a Canadian Permanent Resident.

Canadian Permanent Residents who plan to re-enter Canada by common carrier (plane, train, bus, boat) will have to show their Canadian Permanent Resident Card or Temporary Travel Document before boarding.

hi

thanx for such a contribution

can u tell me like suppose i go to canada,,,complete all the formalities over there and then come back to get married,,,,when i will come back,,,do i need to have some kind of bank balance or finacial support to sponsor my spouse?

There are no financial requirements to sponsor your spouse. I would suggest that you begin by familiarizing yourself with the sponsorship process by reading the sponsorship manuals available here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/fc.asp
