Hi
My wife got a postdoctoral position offer (LMIA exempt) in Quebec. She will be applying for her work permit as soon as she will get her number.
I want to go with her and our baby (8 mo) old along. What is the right time to apply for my "spouse open work permit". Any advices and suggestions are welcome.
Thanking in advance

I would say you better apply with her.
as far as I know for now, the process of SOWP is under low priority, which may take a long time.
You can try to apply a visit visa for whole family before your wife submit her work permit.
