Hi there
Does anyone have any idea how the situation would look like if I marry my girlfriend (I'm in Canada with PR). I've met my girlfriend in Canada, she worked here for a bit over one year, now she's in England. We want to be together and we want to live in Canada. Does anyone know what would be the best option for us? If we get married, can she get like a temporary work permit to be here before she gets her PR?
Thanks

No - she won't qualify for a temporary work permit just by virtue of being married to you. Being married to you won't give her any immediate benefits. You'll need to sponsor her for permanent residency.

I would recommend you move over to the Family Sponsorship section of the forum.
