1. She has to apply for an open spousal work permit to Vegreville (assuming she is in Canada)
2. Your work permit has to be in skill level A,B or O of the NOC http://www5.hrsdc.gc.ca/NOC-CNP/app/index.aspx?lc=e find you job description and then check it on the Matrix by the first 3 numbers http://www5.hrsdc.gc.ca/NOC-CNP/docs/Matrix_Poster_English.pdf

Hi PMM,

Thanks in advance for all your valuable suggestions. Please guide me for my scenario. Thanks!

I am here on work permit and working in IT profession. My WP is expiring this month and going to apply for extension of my work permit (To Vegreville).

My question is about spousal work permit.

My spouse is back in India. Is it possible for me to include her name (for work permit), while applying for my extension?? If not what is the procedure to do?

I already filed for my PR with spouse details... Will this affect my WP extension. Please let me konw your comments...

She would have to apply in India for a Spousal Work Permit and TRV. She would need a copy of your extended work permit and proof of marriage.

The work permit would be issued when you arrive in Canada. You need to present the letter received from Canadian High Commission to receive the work permit.
