I am a Canadian citizen working in Europe for a while and recently I got married (Jan 2016) to a Canadian resident who has a PR card but works outside of Canada. She didn't want to give up her executive job to meet the residency requirements. She landed in July 2010 and her PR expired in Dec 2015, so she does not meet the 730 day residency requirements yet. She has accumulated approx. 400 days in total.

As a spouse of a Canadian citizen the time she spends with her husband abroad will count towards the residency days. So, practically in 230 days I could apply for her PR renewal OR I could just go through family sponsorship.

What do you think? which one is more convenient and faster?
