Submitted my wife's application today. ;D

I have one question - does wife being in Canada with me help to process the application faster? She is here on closed work permit. Also I haven't submitted RPRF fee with the application, but want to submit it next month. Can I do that and notify them thru email or online correspondence as soon as I submit it?
