VerifiedThank you for your question. My name is XXXXX XXXXX my goal is to provide you with the best possible answer.
To achieve that goal it may be that I will find that I need to gather further information from you. As well, it's quite possible that you may feel the need to ask me additional questions for further clarification.
But, please understand that as a careful lawyer I will always give you an honest answer even if the answer is sometimes not what you were hoping for.
Once you are married the Canadian spouse can sponsor the spouse.
The way this works is that the sponsorship application and the permanent resident application go in together. Once the Canadian spouse is approved as a sponsor the other spouse's application will be processed.
The spouse who is being sponsored will need to undergo medical, background and criminal checks.
Here is the link to the webpage that has all the information and forms:

If he is permitted to enter Canada he can stay if you start the sponsorship application.
He cannot work in Canada unless he gets a temporary work permit which he can only apply for outside of Canada.
Otherwise he has to wait he gets his permanent residency status approved.
