How long you wait for an interview depends on how busy the office is.
Whatever you do, do *not* let your stay on an ETA expire before applying for the spouse visa. You *must* apply while still legal.
If they haven't got an interview available before then, you must lodge the application anyway and do the interview later on.

The three months of your stay is what they look at. There is no flexibility (even a day will leave you in a complete mess - others have found out the hard way).
And don't leave it until the last minute either. You don't want some glitch preventing you from lodging (eg DIMIA office closed for the afternoon) - they will not be sympathetic.
