When Can we apply for PR

[ralo_01]

Hey,

I am a PGWP holder, my wife just came to Canada as a visitor. I was wondering if I can apply for PR, with her as my dependant? I am already eligible for PR.

Please advice if I can apply for PR with my wife.

Thanks

If you are eligible, you may apply. You didn't need to wait for her to come to Canada to do so.

Good luck!

Hey,

She is already here with me, I want to apply for PR together.. Is it possible for her to stay with me, until the PR is in process?

Thanks

She can stay for as long as her visa is valid or if she renews it. If you have a skilled job, she is eligible for a spousal open work permit for the same duration as your work permit.

Thanks for the response, What I was wondering is, if we apply for PR while she is on her visitor's visa, where will her application process in the home country or in Canada?

You have to apply as main applicant and its not compulsory that she must be with you her application will be processed with your application.

You can apply pr their is no doubt and her medicals will be done in home country else all process will be done in canada with your application

hope it helps

Applicants for Permanent Residence You must select the visa office that serves your country of nationality or the country where you have been legally admitted for at least one year.

If your wife has not lived in Canada for at least one year with legal status, hers will be processed by a visa office in her home country.
