what are the timeframes for a spouse

[snatter]

I'm about to apply for a visa, I found a company which will sponsor me within the RSMS. I'd like to put my husbund on the application too. The problem is, that he won't be able to come with me to Oz straight away. He has to take care of a couple of things in his home country (Canada). We don't have any idea how long this will take.
So, are there any timeframes in which a spouse of a visa holder as to arrive in Australia?

If your hubby is part of your application then he will need to validate his visa within 12 months of either meds or police checks whichever is earliest. I don't think there are any other restrictions on the 176's relating to spouse movement . Once the visa is validated then he'd have to move there within 5 years, also you need to prove a lasting committment to the relationship so they might question this if your spouse is planning to move later.
