I am thinking of moving back to Canada with my Thai wife and kids (all Canadian citizens, born here).

We've been married (happily) for 14 years.  My wife has multiple degrees and diplomas and speaks English fluently.

 

She has 2 or 3 years left on her current Canadian tourist visa.  Her last one was for 5 years.

 

I have googled it and found the "Govt of Canada, Immigration" section and downloaded their "sponsor a spouse" and "application for permanent residence" for my wife.  However, I have heard their are a number of gotcha's in there.  

 

I'm wondering if anybody has any words of wisdom to help massage the process before I get into it?

Where are you?

 

Maybe a visit to the embassy or a phone call.
