Hi,
No doubts with those 2 points which you have highlighted.. Obviously yes you can travel and can file the application from Canada for your spouse.. This would be the best to do in my views, rather waiting here for PR and then your spouse travels.. All are very much aware of ndvo and how much time they take, so it's better to apply after you both travel to Canada.. Ask everyone here how much painful it is being separate from our partners.. Bcoz of this wait time it creates so much of frustration between 2, and that frustration often leads to a fight which is not a good sign for relationship.. I am not saying its wrong as this is a fact, may be this 12 months processing time should have been less if ndvo could understand this fact ( it's jes my tot as what I have been experiencing at this time and may be many of us are going thru this phase )
All the best and pls confirm with others too, as far as I am aware there is such option!
Thanks
