Topic: tricky question
Good questions:
1. Any change in your personal circumstances prior to your LANDING (which is the time you actually become a permanent resident) must be communicated to the Visa Office. The reason being is that your PR visa states your marital status, and if states that you are single when you "land" but are actually married, you will not be able to sponsor your spouse for permanent residence later on as she was not disclosed on your initial application. Therefore, it is VERY IMPORTANT to notify the Visa Office if you get married prior to landing, EVEN IF your visa has already been issued. Your spouse will be required to undergo a medical and have her police clearances, but the time spent doing this will save you a world of trouble down the road.
2. YES. You can always add a spouse onto an existing application. You must not notify the visa office who is processing your file.
3. No, you do not have to start over. However, the Visa Office will require your wife's information (i.e. passport, birth certificate, medical, police clearnaces, etc.).
4. Not sure what you mean by this question. Once you are landed your PR status is permanent, so long as you maintain your residency requiement.

Topic: Rabat, Morocco
The average processing time for spousal sponsorships is around 6 months, so I wouldn't be concerned yet. If you are anxious to find out what is happening you may wish to apply for a status review of your file. You can find out more about this at http://www.canadian-immigration.ca/status-review.html. |

Topic: Posibility of having PR and work in USA on H1B and keeping US - Green card process alive?
In order to renew your PR status in Canada you will be required to demonstrate that you have resided in Canada for at least 2 years out of every five year period (not 3 years). If you cannot do this you risk having your PR status revoked.
