folks, i would appreciate your suggestions, facts and any help with my questions below:

my friend, who got his landing papers now and has to land before sep 30, 2003. now he is planning to get married. now his questions are:

1. should he get married after he completes the landing process in sep 2003?

2. is there any problem if he gets married before he lands? if so, what are the implications? (he has applied for PR as single / primary applicant)

3. if he completes his landing process in sep 2003, then get married say in oct / nov 2003, then how long does he have to wait to get his wife into canada?

4. what is the process to go about in getting PR for his wife in the spouse category?

6. is there a temporary spouse visa or something that she can get to accompany my friend to canada? if so, how difficult it is to get that and what is the process involved in it?

5. is there any other way that she can join my friend immediately after getting married, like getting h4 for h1 visa holder?

sorry for asking too many questions folks, but my friend is in a confused state right now and i just want to ease his pressure. thanks in advance to everyone who gives info. that they know.
 
Do NOT get married before you land , be in the same status while landing as per the documents .

Once there , sponsor your wife for a PR . It takes appx (6 months ) for spouse from USA and 1 yrs from India
 
bhand11683 - thanks for the info.

is there a specific reason for the time difference between US and india? what is the process involved? after landing, can my friend return back to india and apply for his spouse PR from india? please let me know on that as well, thanks again.

others - your suggestions also pls.
