Hi All,

I have a question related to the spouse's Open Work Permit.
  • My wife has got Canada Student Visa and currently doing her first year. She did not travel to Canada yet but taking online classes.
  • Can I apply for Spouse Open Work Permit? We both want to travel together to Canada.

Spouses and children of international students aren't guaranteed permits and visas. Instructions say you can apply which causes confusion. Seems 50/50.

I don't think so! Having said that you should stay in Canada until they get approval.
