| Subject: sponsoring PR for my wife-to-be |

I became a canadian PR in Oct´08. However, I currently work and live in the US. I am getting married in March 2010 and after marriage will come back with my wife to the US.
I plan to move to Canada permanently before Oct´11 so that I comply with the 730 days in 5 years rule. I am not sure what is the best way to go about moving, given that my wife will not be a PR. I want to avoid the separation period during which I need to move alone myself, look for a job and then sponsor her. Is there another way out ? Here are certain things I have thought of:
1) My wife would like to study further. So I am thinking after we come back to the US, I can have her get a student visa to Canada and then move there with her.
2) Let her apply for a Canadian visitor visa. Would it be better if she applied for a visitor visa before marriage from India ? How long is the visa valid for ? If its only valid for 6 months, would it help to strengthen her case if she applies for a visitor visa again after the first one expires, because she already had one before marriage ?
3) Is there Any other way out ?
Any educated responses and ideas will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

one more option (in reply to: sponsoring PR for my wife-to-be)
4) I am myself interested in further studies. Is it true that if I enroll in a Canadian university as a student, I will be able to sponsor my wife without having to show employment proof ?

Why are these Indians running to the US after obtaining Canadian PR? Are they trying to use the Canadian PR to migrate to the US? if they are not interest in Canada, why blocks other people?

***************
Her chances on obtaining a study visa based on your current circumstances are very slim. More than likely she will not get it.
There is a dual intent of a temporary resident with no ties to her home country, newly weds, residing in a foreing country married to a permanent resident with the intentions of moving permanently to Canada.

It is not going to work.
2) Let her apply for a Canadian visitor visa. Would it be better if she applied for a visitor visa before marriage from India ? How long is the visa valid for ?

Read my answer above, her conditions have changed since the last visa was issued. She will either have problems obtaining the visa or even worse right at the port of entry.
3) Is there Any other way out ?
Your best bet is an outland application. Once you get married, you should move to Canada by yourself first and sponsor your wife while she is in India.
The shortcut you are planning it´s a terrible idea.
Do it right.
