My wife is a Canadian citizen and she is sponsoring me to immigrate to Canada.
We are married for 10 years and live in US and I was wondering what kind a immigration papers will I get.
Do I get Permanent residency once I'm approved to come to Canada or do I get conditional residency.

If I get Permanent residency do I get permanent working papers as well or working papers that I have to renew each year?

Thank you!

Because you have been married 10 years, you will receive an unconditional PR. As a permanent resident, you have the legal right to work and live anywhere in Canada.

No, it doesn't. Only applications received after the 25th of October by CIC are concerned by the new rule.
