I think I've confused you. The mention of applying through Mississauga is only available for spousal
PR applications (like Married a Canadian's) not skilled worker ones like ours. You must apply through London CHC.
If you're wife is anything like mine, her work permit will just gather dust!
If you know you want to stay here, then apply asap for
PR (forms downloadable from CIC website). Like I said at least 36 months now through London. It will take you a good few weeks to get all the paperwork together. Things like UK Police checks should be done before you leave. They're only valid for 12 months and take up to 40 business days to come through after your dabs are taken, but do them now, apply and then, like us, send up to date fingerprints (being done tomorrow) to the RCMP at medical time.
If I can be of further help, just ask.
