Spousal Sponsorship or Canadian Experience or Skilled Worker?

[InCanadaIn]

Hello all,

I am very impressed with everyone's contribution and dedication in this forum. I would really appreciate your expert advice on this one.

I am trying to decide which category I should apply under and trying to figure out pros and cons such as timeline in each category.

1. I am married to a Canadian beautiful woman and we have a son who was born in Canada. My wife was not working for the past year because she was caring for our son. She had never received any financial assistance from Canadian Government. We have been married for 6 years.
2. I lived in Ontario for the past 1.5 years with work permit
3. My Canadian work experience meets the skilled category
4. I have taken English proficiency tests before and I have no doubt that I can pass the requirement.
5. I have renewed job offer that has 5-year term

So the question is under which category should I apply to become PR.
1. Should my wife sponsor me?
2. Should I apply under Canada Experience Class?
3. Should I apply under so called "Skilled worker"?

Which one is faster with less scrutiny?

Thank you and hope to hear some advices from all you experts.

Canadian and Experience class both have a processing time of 13, and 15 months respectively, if you are applying within Canada, while the sponsorship is 14 months including both stage1 and stage2, So interms of processing time it looks the same now, but family sponsorship have a higher priority than the other economic migrants.

What i think is that spousal sponsorship will be less scrunity, because there are less requirements and conditions.
So lets see what the others say

No, CEC can be completed in 7-10 months, based on observed cases. Definitely choose CEC over FSWP if you qualify for both - faster processing, and it's open right now unlike FSWP.

As to whether to choose spousal sponsorship, it depends how solid a case you have and whether you go outland or inland.
