Hi guys I am new to this thread.
I received my PNP visa last week.
But before landing to canada I am planning to get married.
How can I get a visa for my wife. need help
If you get married before you land as a PR, you must inform CIC of the change in ur status. You must submit new forms and include ur wife in ur application. If you fail to do so and land without informing cic (after marriage ), you will never be able to sponsor your wife.
You will have to do police checks and medicals for your wife and the processing will take few additional months but you are much better off in the long run doing it this way.
Otherwise you have to marry after you land as PR and sponsor her via Spousal Sponsorship. Trust me you never want to do that. It takes a really long time and you have to prove the genuineness of your relationship. And your wife most probably will be denied visitors visa ( TRV ) and you have to live apart till she gets PR. This is a frustrating process. Most of us are going thru this.
You have a choice. Make a wise decision. If your marriage date is all set, send a mail to cic informing in detail about everything they will guide you on the next steps. Keep in mind ur PR visa expiry date and if its in the near future you should check with CIC if they will give u new one.
