Lots of people do - if you are determined to make Canada your home you have to take a risk if you can't get a job before you move. You'll have to try and sort something once you're 'on the ground'.

If he doesn't move then he will lose his PR status. You both have to meet the 730 days out of 5 years rule. Either you make Canada your home, or you don't - no more messing about.
