Hello All.
I recently got my immigration to canada, but havent made my first
visit yet.
And I m getting married soon, before finally moving to Canada.
Now the question to fellows in here is that in what ways can I take my
wife with me ?
since she is also an Indian citizen like me and she doesnt have the
canadian immigration..
is it posssible that I get her with me to Canada on a tourist visa and
apply for immigration from inside Canada ? Will Canadian government
allow this ?
or should I apply for her immigration right after marriage and wait
till she gets her immigration and then move to Canada ? is this
possible btw ?
any other experience ?
Cheers

The best way to do this is for you to land in Canada, then marry your wife and apply to sponsor her. You can also try to contact the consulate right now and try to add her to your immigration application, however that will add significant delays to your case.
You must not marry and then land in Canada as a permanent resident with the visa that you have right now. If you do that, your immigrant visa will be invalid and you will run into a lot of problems - including not being able to sponsor your wife ever.
You have to land single and then marry, or land married. But you must not land "single", if you are actually married.

Yes, whatever you do, your marriage must take place after you land in Canada.

If you marry before landing then it will invalidate your visa. You should
land first and get married after landing.
