Good luck:-). It is a useful exercise to download all of the information related to the applications right now. That way you can start collecting the information and documents you need and are good to go when the time is right.

We are doing exactly just this.

I will be sure to post more questions when they come up.

I can't thank you enough.

You may also need to file for extensions of her temporary resident status if the processing of her permanent residency takes longer than 6 months, which is most likely. You should be able to do this upon arrival at the border.

just to clarify for people who will read this thread in the future

This is from the CIC website:

"You must obtain a temporary resident visa (TRV) before your departure; you cannot obtain it upon arrival in Canada."
