Hiya!
My partner (UK citizen) & I (Australian citizen), along with our 5 month old baby (dual UK/Aus citizen) are planning to move to Canada later this year.
I plan to get the IEC (likely to succeed as quota’s not reached) & find a NOC 0, A or B job once I’m in Canada (as my qualifications fall in these jobs), afterwhich my partner can apply for an open work permit with proof of my position (evidenced here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/apply-who-permit-result.asp?q1_options=1i&q2_options=2d)
Initially my partner will take care of our baby until he can legally work, then we may swap care/work or eventually put her into nursery if we have good jobs.
My questions are:
•How likely is it that my partner & baby would be granted a visitor visa upon arrival (aware it may only be 6 months - happy to leave Canada if we didn’t succeed in finding work etc.)
•Would officials be convinced my partner isn’t going to work illegally given we have a baby & someone needs to take care of her?
•What amount of supporting funds is likely to be necessary?
Thanks in advance!
