If you are expecting a Canadian Citizenship / passport soon, then why you want to go via the Visa route.
Canadian passport has more power than the dependent (H4) visa in any way you compare.

so think with a cool mind and DO NOT hurry, unless you need to and there is no workaround for you.

Waiting for citizenship is not a feasible option because my job will start before she gets her citizenship. So either she stays in Canada without me or we take out chances with the consulate. Anyway, I will definitely consult a lawyer before taking any further steps but I just wanted to know what u guys thought. Thanks
