Need help on sponsoring my spouse

[gopal1141]

Hello everyone,

I need help/information on sponsoring PR for my spouse. Below is my situation.

I have applied for my PR and hoping to get it by October/November. I will be getting married on Oct 28. I am not sure when I will be travelling to Canada after I receive my PR. But assuming that i will be travelling to Canada sometime next year I will start my PR processing for my wife after i travel to Canada since I cannot apply while in India. CIC site says max processing time is 82 days + 8 months. Does this take this long or this is the max lead time?

Also my wife has worked in Canada for almost 1.5 years, assuming that the 1 year rule comes into effect under CEC in July, I am suggesting her to apply under CEC. In this she will receive her PR sooner than the family class. I am not sure if process is risky since she might have to inform CIC after getting married informing that her marital status has changed.

I am confused at this point of time. Any help/suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

That's just the average, some are faster, some are slower. It depends on the application itself. the 82 days tends to be a bit more closer to the actual timeline though it changes almost every week.

Also my wife has worked in Canada for almost 1.5 years, assuming that the 1 year rule comes into effect under CEC in July, I am suggesting her to apply under CEC.

She would have to claim you as her fiancee/husband/boyfriend as they DO ask that on the forms. I don't know much about it, but it does seem risky to me. But someone else might be able to offer a bit more insight on this.

I am confused at this point of time. Any help/suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
