Hi leon - need help in spouse visa

[CanInd28]

Hi Leon,
Currently I am under open work permit in canada and have applied CEC for permanent residency. Received my medicals and submitted just two weeks ago. waiting for my passport request. But now I am getting married in Nov 2014. Will be leaving to my hometown and planning to apply spouse work permit once I receive my marriage certificate at my hometown. Would there be any issues for getting spouse work permit?. My work permit expires on 2015 may. And when I am back to Canada, I am gonna send my passport to CIC once I receive request. I will disclose my marriage details to CIC when sending the passport. Do you think they will approve the spouse work permit?.. and would there be any problem when I file PR papers for my spouse If I bring under spouse work permit?. Or shall I apply directly to Spouse PR after I get my PR?..Which is the best possible way and faster to bring my spouse?.

If I add my spouse documents to the current CEC file, how long would they take to complete the process?..Since I have only 6 months

I'm not Leon but I'll give it a try anyway.

You need to add your spouse to your CEC application. This will take extra time as you will need to provide everything you would have needed to provide for spouse as if you had been married at the time of your original application. I think you should still be able to complete everything by May, but if not I believe you can apply for a bridging permit to stay in Canada while your application is completed.
