Me and my fiance are planning to immigrate to Canada

[Hostass20]

Me and my fiance are planning to immigrate to Canada. We are planning to get married by next summer and we would like be then to be done with the immigration process and once we get married in our home country we move after to Canada.

How can we do that as the process request marriage documents and we wont have it until next summer and we don't want to wait all of this time to start the process because the process itself takes time, so we were thinking if we started by now hopefully it may takes around a year.

We are still afraid that each one of us do the process separately that might come to one of us and not the other, and if he done it alone and he went there and he requested to invite me after we get married i found that this process will take around 12 months which too long time to live without each other after our marriage.

Anyone got any suggestions please?!!

You can't apply together until you are either married or common law. Common law means that you have lived together continuously for a minimum of one full year. If you want to apply now, then one of you will have to apply as single and add the other person to the application once you are married.

we are almost 90% the same in terms of (age, education, work experience, language etc..)
what would you suggest to us to apply singles! or is it possible for instance the process is not yet done by the time we got married is it possible he puts me in the middle of his process or i will take whole new process with a new time?

or do u mean he invites me ?

You can apply now if you have the points. You can add her after marriage if your application is in progress. If you already receive your pr before marriage then you can sponsor her after marriage which takes about 18 months processing time.

What if we got married in the middle of the process and he added me as a spouse, does that mean he is starting the process from the scratch or the process will continue with no change in time. "in other words is this will take more time to receive the pr because the marital status has changed from single to married?"

There is a slight delay if you get married and add spouse in the middle of process, and you get to provide a few more forms and PCC and medicals, but its not a "start over"
