Which country are you from?
Has your girlfriend landed in Canada as a PR?

If your girlfriend has only received her PR visa and landing papers then she should go to Canada and complete the landing procedure to become a PR first. Please DO NOT get married before she lands in Canada as a PR.

If you get married in Canada and she sponsors you it will take approx 8-9 months to complete the process.

Please check the following link to find out how much time it will take to approve your application if you live in your country of residence after getting married:

Please note that if you live in Canada during the process (i.e. if you can get the visitor visa) you can not work and you will not get medical insurance.
 
Dear thanks alot for the reply, what i understand after reading your reply is that if i get married in canada and she sponsers me as spouse i canot work and study untill i get my status which is prc. am i right?
I am from Pakistan and she has received her landing papers but not yet landed and is planing to go in couple of months, so my concern is that should i let her go and take her prc and come back to pakistan and then we marry here or should i get a visitors visa and get married there, i think its all the time that matters coz i dont want to sit ideal over there and earn nothing untill i get my status
I highly appreciate your sugesstions,

Regards nibz
