You have to be in Canada for two out of five years to maintain PR status, so technically you have up to three years to move after being granted it. However your tax home moves to Canada on the day the status is granted, according to the tax treaty. To avoid dual-taxation you will need to become non-resident US citizens ASAP. (But if he's applying from inside of Canada that's a moot point really, he will already be tax resident because his wife is a Canadian citizen and he lives in Canada.)
