Study visa or visitor visa, either ways she will have to declare she is married to a Canadian PR. Then why spend tens of thousands of $ in studies if its not required! I agree that obtaining visitor visa after marriage is a tricky process, but so is a study visa. Starting from selecting...

The Sponsor (PR holder) needs to be physically in Canada to sponsor a spouse. I would suggest going with Option #1, I have done the same thing. And yes, your wife will need to mention she is married to a Canadian PR in the Visa application, as well as at the border entry (if asked). In my...

thanks for this suggestion. TD did let my wife open a bank account on a visitor visa!

for paper-based application, applying for open work permit is a fairly straight process. You need to submit IMM 5710 along with fee payment receipt. All details are indicated in Guide IMM 5289. For online sponsorship application however, it's not clear.
