Have you done any research on what are the usual timeline for spousal migration in Canada?

These are published on the CIC website. If you want greater insight, the open data project publishes additional information (with 20%, 30%, 50%, 70% and 80% processing times, versus the 80% time published on the CIC website). Go to "check application processing time" on the CIC website, right hand column.

Thank you so much. This really gave me a greater insight.

If I understand correctly from your expert opinion, the ideal decision for the applicant in such a situation would be:
- migrate first
- then get married
- and then apply for spouse immigration.

And while his wife's immigration is in process, the wife will not be allowed to enter Canada on visit. He will have to move between Canada and his home country until its processed.

Although This may take another 1-2 years for him to unite with his wife, but if he gets married now and add his wife to his application, it will delay his case further (considering he is in process for past 2 years, and only had his medical in April 2012).

BTW, How does I give +1 to you? I am newbie here. Couldn't find it in your profile.

From which country is your friend's spouse immigrating? Very few countries have processing times measured in years.

At any rate, this is a personal decision. I wouldn't want to be separated from my spouse for 6-12 months, but for some people I'm sure this works.

Either approach works. Just don't run afoul of the common law partner rules.

he is sayng 1-2 years..bcz he is not married yet..firstly he will go to canada and apply for pr card..then he came back to get merry..then again he will apply for his wife.. this will surely take minimum 2 years for all process like getting pr card, yhen back to country..then again to canada and apply for spouse...
