Well you won't be a Canadian resident if you are not living there so of course. And a spouse visa takes about a year so you can't live in USA together right after the wedding as you write.
And CR-1 = married under 2 years IR-1 = married over 2 years.
Thanks for the reply. Well I'll technically have a permanent residency card for Canada by the time I apply for a CR-1 (assuming that's indeed the correct visa avenue to take) - I'm just worried that having this status, even if I don't live there, will affect my application for US residency. Thanks for getting back to me though, it's much appreciated.

Hi all,
I'm in a bit of a panic right, I was recently granted Canadian Permanent Residency but have not yet activated it. I am from Ireland and will be marrying my American fiancée in Ireland this coming September. I am visiting her in Seattle right now on a B1/B2 and had planned to cross the border to Canada next week to activate my Canadian PR and get back to work in Canada. However, we intend to reside in the USA after our wedding and are currently looking into IR-1 / CR-1 spouse visa options. Does anyone here know if activating my Canadian Permanent Residency will affect my future application for IR-1?
Any and all help would be much appreciated.
Thanks all

If this is actually possible, then that would be ideal. Right now, I'm (Shane) honestly a bag of nerves about this, but from talking to a few people, it sounds that having Canadian PR won't go against me. Thank you so much for your response. Truly appreciated.
Cheers mate, we really appreciate your feedback!
