PR for me and wife together ? Both stay in Canada

[coolroby]

Hi All,

I am an Indian citizen and i am working in Toronto since March 2010. I am currently on work Permit and i am eligible for PR under CEC.

I am preparing to file PR under CEC. I have cleared IELTS with a score of 7 and have gathered required documentation like Work Experience, Police Clearance Certificate, Birth Certificate from Indian consulate here.

I got married few months back and my wife joined me here a month back. Currently she is on Dependent Visa.

Can i apply PR for both of us at the same time ? Or is there any duration limit (like staying for more than a year in Canada or so) which my wife needs to satify ?

In this case do i need to hire a lawyer ?

Could you please help me in this regards.

Thanks...

This is really a CEC question, not a family class sponsorship question.

As you are married, you must apply together.

An attorney can review your documents but ultimately you will need to do most of the work yourself, because it is personal information that is required. If, after reviewing the application, you are still not comfortable completing it on your own, then you can hire an attorney.

An attorney cannot make the process go any faster. A well prepared complete application will make the process go faster.

Good luck!
