IELTS required after marriage to Canadian citizen???

[marina_quelle]

Hi all,

My question is basically a mix of all sorts, and I'm hoping you helpful folks would be able to help me or at least provide some direction...

I am a Canadian citizen, living and working in the UK. My fiancé is in India and is a dentist and a denstistry lecturer.

When we marry, we want to move to Canada together and settle there.

So here's my questions:

1. What do I need to do in order to make the Spousal PR application process move as smooth as possible?
2. How long would it take for him to get PR status from the moment we submit our application?
3. If my fiancé wants to study in Canada after marriage will he have to take the IELTS exam?
4. Is there anything he has to do to help the PR process move smoothly?
5. What does my fiancé have to do to become eligible to practice in Vancouver, Canada?

Those are my questions, hope you guys can help me with them!
