Hi

I am struggling to find out the type of visa application that need to be submitted for the spouse of a person that has a BC PNP approved and has a valid work permit. I have a friend who is presently working in canada on a work permit in category C and has an approved PNP application and still need to apply for the PR process. He wants to bring his spouse from India but we a struggling to find the type of visa that needs to be applied and what forms we need. we have checked the CIC website and it says in FAQ that spouse can come as a dependent but dont see any forms related to it anywhere.

thanks for your help

Hi Zainsami and Sunny

Yes you can apply for an open work permit if you are in category 0,A and B but I dont see anywhere it says that the category dosn't matter if you have a PNP approval. Below is the link for from CIC website. So sunny, did you apply for the Open Work Permit and I believe also the TR Visa at the same time ?

For those who did not apply or were not approved by provinces yet. I would say that you shall add your spouse as dependant into your application even if they currently do not reside in Canada. Because anyway you are suppose to put yourself as married (regardless if spouse will accompany you or not). It is much better situation, especially before your paperwork is done. That means federal part. If you wait after you get your PR you will have to go the way of sponsoring your spouse wich is much longer and more tedious.

So once getting with federal your spose will also the PR with you.
Hope this helps.
