Hi All,
I recently heard about this forum from a friend of mine, and found some very useful information and experiences so far. I'd like to post about the situation I'm in and would appreciate any help.
I am currently a full-time post graduate student in BC, Canada. My course ends in 2 months, after which I am eligible for a 3 year work permit. Immediately after obtaining the permit, I intend on returning to India and get married to my girlfriend before moving to Ontario in March.
As soon as I reach India, we would register the marriage and then apply for her Spouse Visa, which entitles her to get a work permit. Now as per my research, she should get the visa for the same duration as mine. Could someone please inform me about how long the process for her visa takes? I know that the website says 30 days if you apply online, but does reality paint a different picture? I'd love to know about similar experiences or if someone is in the same spot.
