It's legal in many countries where residents regardless citizen or non citizen can vote. e.g. UK.

In U.K only visitors cannot vote because they cannot live here for more than 6 months, other people come under resident status more than 6 months either temporary/ permanent, students, highly skilled, temporary workers etc. and they can register for vote in UK.

Better update the status to CHC after u land. If u do it now, yr documents may be recalled and lengthy process will start and u will be stuck as well for long time. There is a procedure to apply for spouse...though lengthy but it is better that atleast u touch the base and then arrange for spouse. This is my personal view gud luk asyousuf |

No - it's not OK to marry before you land and then land alone. If you do this, you will never be able to sponsor your wife and you risk having your own PR status revoked for misrepresentation. Either marry your wife after you land. Or return your visa - marry now and then officially add her to your application (i.e. submit forms, medical, police clearances). |

It says even on COPR papers that we receive that you must let your visa office know should your personal circumstances change before landing, do as it says on the tin mate. |
