PR Application: CEC or Spousal Sponsorship

I just started the third year here. Got a new TWP for another two years. I should apply for PR now through the CEC track (last application last year got messed up by my employer) , however i'm due to get married anyway this coming January (to a Canadian).

If i send in my PR paperwork now, what happens in January when my status changes? I'm still working under the TWP whatever happens, but would it interfere with my PR application?

Marriage to a Canadian would not affect your application in any way. On the other hand if she were to sponsor you after your marriage that would pretty well ensure your acceptance for PR.

Agreed; is it currently quicker to do it in Canada for Spousal sponsorship for PR or via London...

Outland via London. My OH got his passport request after 4 months. However, it's been another month and a half and we still don't have the passport back yet!

It is still quicker than the time quoted for Inland sponsorship.
