Hi Seniors/friends,

I am already in the express entry pool with 458 Points , I have been waiting there for a while but no luck.
Can I go ahead and apply for Student visa and open work permit for Spouse?
some consultant suggested that this should be fine and both student visa and open work permit for spouse will get accepted,
but some said since you are already in the pool,this will have adverse effect on the visa and it will get rejected.
some are suggesting that study permit might get approved; but open work permit will surely get rejected.
Can some please share their experiences on the same...or any sort of opinion?
Please suggest I am in a dilemma.

I have details regarding Study Visa, as one of my friend was in the same situation .
He applied Study Visa and got approved .

For Open Work Permit other seniors will give you more detail .

Anyways 458 is a good score . Keep patience you will receive the ITA soon .

I did this last year, we were already in the pool and asked for Study visa for me + OWP for my husband (plus 2 kids 1-Student and 1-Visitor) and everything went well, the visas were approved. I don't think been in the pool is an issue for other visas, since you are following all the rules.

No, I didn't, it is not requested anywhere. In any case we stated in a letter of intention that want to apply for post-graduate work permit after and follow all CIC rules for any status change.

So you suggest to be open and mention that we want to apply for PGWP and then follow all CIC rules for any status change? U didn't mention that u intend to return after study??
