My Wife is in Canada and I am in India, which visa should I apply for?

[INDER SAINI]

My Wife is in Canada on study permit from may 15 to july 16 and I am in India, which visa should I apply for?
1) Dependent spouse visa or tourist visa?
2) Which is more easier as I plan to visit her for her birthday.
3) If at all I applied for a tourist Visa, could we change that to an Open Work Permit from (within) Canada?
4) To do all the above do I need to hire a Lawyer?
4) Does a dependent visa needs to be filed ONLY after 6 months of study is over(This is what most of the forums/ people are saying) how far this is true?

Your reply eagerly awaited, My Wife got his study permit in May 2016

FOR THOSE WHO NEED HELP IN FILING SPOUSE OPEN WORK PERMIT

Hi there,
Greetings,

I have seen so many of you guys are struggling to find correct information regarding the application of your spouse work permit (For full time international students) but not getting the correct information,
Let me help you out with that.
I am a full time international student in Canada, came here in Sep. 2016 intake. I applied for my spouse in Oct 2016 for SOWP and got her visa in 20 days only. She joined me here in early Nov. 2016. Cool

There are certain mistakes you guys are making while filling this visa, resulting in refusal of your application. I will try to cover all these mistakes and also will help you with correct process and documentation.
Common mistakes made by us are:
1. Over whelming the application by attaching unnecessary documents.
2. Providing unsatisfactory explanation in Cover letter.
3. Weak demonstration of ties in home country.
4. Improper documentation.
5. Improper formatting and poor writing.


Coming to next section, what should we do to avoid these mistakes and file a proper visa application.

Although documents vary by application to application, but some of the docs are same and can be listed as:
For Applicant: MOST IMPORTANT : COVER LETTER, and
1. Passport
2. Medical (if applying on pre medical basis, however you can apply on post medical basis)
3. Highest degree of education.
4. Marriage pictures
5. Employment experience letters (if any)
6. Funds in Savings (only have to show if your spouse took any Loan while applying for study visa)

For Spouse (Already in Canada on Student visa)
1. Visa must be valid for at least 6 months from date of application.
2. College ID, Offer Letter from college, Study Permit, Student Visa, Passport
3. Savings if doing any part time job.


These are the only documents required to file this visa. However, some more docs may be needed in some special cases.

If you still have any doubt, or need help in filing visa, feel free to shoot me a mail on helpseeker@yahoo.com
