best strategy please!!!

[maneesh]

Helloz all,
Friends i am looking for some practical advise ,
I am planning to apply for P.R with my wife as a prime applicant ,I am a student on a student permit till dec 1 2006 and my wife has been granted a work permit on this basis till december 1 2006.
My question is that can she apply for P.R ?
She landed in Canada on the 16th of Dec 2005 so even with her work permit she still falls a few days short of 1 full year..
Please advise...and also tell the best possible strategy to apply for P.R
Thanks Maneesh

I remember you should have been legally  living in the country different from your homeland for 12 months before applying for PR.
But it is the rule for applying from overseas.

You can look at www.cic.gc.ca about applying for PR from inside Canada.

Its not living in country it is being admitted for 1 year. If you came to Canada on the 6th of Jan and were admitted to the 6 Jan the following year, you could apply to Buffalo, if you came on the 6th of Jan and were admitted to 6th of Decemeber, you couldn't.

Thanks Pmm and Regina But i am still confused by admittance u mean the actual duration of the visa which for my wife is exactly 1 yr
1st dec 2005--1st dec 2006
but the catch is she landed on canada on the 16 th of december so although she has a valid visa for 1 year her length of stay will be a few days shorter,
I am sorry to be so pestering but i don't want to go through of applying ,if my wife is not eligible to file from here.
Thanks
