If you have applied for a spouse visa. She should not live in Pakistan, it can result in a refusal of the visa. Such cases have been refused previously. Check the spreadsheet 2015.

To Maintain the PR status, one needs to be physically present in Canada for 730 days in 5 years
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5445ETOC.asp#appendixA
Appendix A: Residency obligation
Minimum residency obligations
You must meet the residency obligation to get a PR Card.
If you have been a permanent resident for five (5) years or more
you must have been physically present in Canada for a minimum of 730 days within the past five (5) years.
If you have been a permanent resident for less than five (5) years
you must show that you will be able to meet the minimum of 730 days of physical presence in Canada within five (5) years of the date you became a permanent resident.

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

LVO successfully wasted 2 weeks of the new year. No new DMs and no new add doc requests. What are they doing?

Could be off base, but my theory in general for the slowness that started to be occurring at various VOs even before the holidays is that there might be training going on for how to process the new application kit.

Maybe. However we are hearing nothing from any applicants at all. I think they are taking holidays, seriously.
