Hi all , need some help in filing the application for dependent visa with open work permit . I will be applying for ICT visa and a dependent visa with open work permit for my wife . Currently she is working for an Indian IT company. Her company is willing to transfer her to Canada but not immediately as it will take time to find a relevant project for her in Canada . The company is ok with her in working from Canada to India with Indian payrol . My question is , what should I fill in in the application for her employer name and location of employer ? Is it legal to work like this ?? Please advice . Am stuck here and not able to proceed with filing of my application too because of this concern
.. please give your inputs and help is much appreciated!

Thanks ,
Prem

Dependent visas don’t exist. She should apply for an SOWP. She can work for her employer in Canada IF she has an OWP. If she is a visitor she can not. Visitors can not work for an employer if the employer has Canadian offices or Canadian clients/customers. She will need to declare her income on her Indian income on her Canadian taxes although there is a tax treaty so there won’t be double taxation just taxed on the difference.
