Once you are married, you can apply for an open work permit based on his study permit. You will still have to show that you are not a risk to overstay in Canada. After he graduates his program, he can get a post-grad work permit. You can get an open spouse work permit based on his permit as long as he is working a skilled job.prathyusha said:

1) According to http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/temp/workers.asp#asia the processing time for a work permit if you apply from India is 4 months. I do not know if an open permit would be faster than a regular permit.
2) According to http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/temp/visitors.asp#asia the processing time for a visit visa in New Delhi is 12 days. Of course you have to prove that you will not overstay etc.
If you get a visitor visa, you can apply for an open work permit from within Canada. The processing time for that is 7 days if you apply online, see http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/inFORMation/times/temp.asp
Hi, I have a query. I have just my Canadian PR. I am planning to get married in India next year and want to get my wife to Canada permanently. I doubt she will be eligible for the express entry program. Can someone please guide me how I can apply for her visa and can she work here?
