I am on PGWP, can i apply for a spouse visa for my partner?

[harleensinghahuja]

I am on PGWP in Canada and have a manager job at a restaurant in Saskatchewan.

I recently got married.
Can i apply for a spouse visa for my wife, so that she can come to Canada.
And if yes, will there be anything related to documentation that i need to take care of?
And will she be given a work permit?
Any guidance will be appreciated.

The family sponsorship section is for Canadian citizens and PR to sponsor their spouses/family to become canadian permanent residents.
There is no "spouse visa".
I think there are options for foreign workers to get visitor visa or work permit for their spouses.
Post your question in foreign workers section. I think you will get better replies.

yes she will be given open work permit on your basis.

I don't think SOWP is garantee. He can apply but it's not a "given" case.

that's true. it's not guaranteed but I have seen cases of friends bringing in their spouses on study permit and pgwp.

In cases where it is an arranged marriage and the spouse applies right after they get married there are often denials because of the lack of proof of being in a genuine relationship.
