Hi All,

Background:
My Status:
  • Working in an NOC A level job on PGWP which expires in Sep 2019
  • More than 1 year of Canadian full time work experience (so I can apply under CEC)
  • have master's degree in Canada

My Spouse's Status:
  • She received her SOWP in June 2017 which expires in Sep 2019.
  • We are planning for her arrival here in Canada in February 2018.

My Questions:

  • Should I apply for our PR together now if she is still in India and I am in Canada? If yes, then will it take longer or it will be something around 3 months like for CEC application?
or

  • Should I wait for her to enter Canada and then apply our PR together? Is there advantage when she is here compared to when she is in India?

Also please feel free to suggest anything which I might not know of. Thanks in advance.
