Hi
i am from India and my Girlfriend is Canadian permanent resident
well we are planning to get married in Canada and i will be travelling Canada on visitors as i have the Visa right now
we have been in a relation since last 5 years
we ve been engaged in india since last 3 years
and we met and stayed in canada for 8 months when i was in canada on student visa

SO my questions are :
How much time does it take to get marriage certificate after we finish marriage procedure in chapel?
how much time does it take to get an open work permit after marriage certificate arrives?
should i apply for my inland PR at the same time ?
and should i apply for my visitors extension ?


so can any one guide me what should i do after i get in canada on visitors visa.
(And we want to apply for inland PR)

Chapel?

Dunno if chapel is different as religious marriages are not recognized. You need to be married by registered marriage officiant.

After you get married by a marriage officiant it can take anywhere from 2 to 12 weeks to get the paper (usually 3-4).

Spouses of PR are not eligible for a WP alone.

In fact you should apply for PR and attach a WP application. Look for the procedure.

If you need to.
