IEC Young Professionals - Spouse

[ferjusmar]

Hi everyone,

I'm going to work as civil engineer (NOC level A) in Canada through a Young Professionals visa and I've been loking for information about how to get a work permit for my wife. My type of visa (Young Professionals) doesn't allow dependants so I wonder what's the process to get a work permit for her.

Thanks in advance,

Would it be possible to apply for an open work permit within Canada? Thanks

She can apply to change her status to worker once you have 3 payslips.

Thanks Canuck, I really appreciate ur response.
Do you have any idea about how long does it take to go through all the process once you apply?

According to that, it's either 5 weeks from Canada or Spain to process an open work permit. Thanks Canuck.
