Fastest way to work in Canada after marriage

[JDjader]

Hey People!
Thank you for reading my post!
I hope to be in the right topic.
I'll explain my situation.
I'm Italian/Canadian. I'm coming to work in Canada soon. I'm planning to marry my Italian girlfriend in Canada. We have been staying together for 2 and a half years; we are ready for the big jump, and ready for starting our new adventure in this great Country. What I was asking is: after the marriage, which is the fastest way for her to get a work permit? I mean when she is waiting for the PR status, is there any temporary work visa or whatever so she can work without waiting months, or years? Thank you very much for helping

As far as I know, she should be able to apply for an open work permit along with the PR application. I'm not 100% sure though!

Only available if you apply inland. The work permit will be issued after first stage approval. First stage approval takes around 6 months.

if you've been living together for at least 12 months, then you already qualify as Commonlaw partners, and you can apply already now... no need to wait until you're married.
Otherwise, you can do inland procedure and get a work permit after 6 months ( stage 1), ( but you need to wait until she is physically in Canada before you can do the procedure), or outland (prepare your file and send it as soon as you're married, or apply as Common Law partners if you already qualify). Rome has a waiting time of 14 months but quite a few people are done way before that.
Good luck,

Unfortunately we are not living together

Unfortunately we are not living together

start preparing the application ( it takes a while to get everything together), and time it well ( police certificate can not be more than 3 months old when they reach CIC so take that into consideration, but you can already get the rest started - the proofs, different forms etc), then once you are married and get the marriage license, you can send it off..
Unfortunately there is no fast way to go to Canada, and the IEC visa (here http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/italy-italie/experience_canada_experience/index.aspx?view=d) just close today...
Good luck,
