How to obtain Open work permit for wife or common-in-law? I have received my study permit for Post graduation in theology. While I was applying my wife who is a Principal of a high school in India was not sure whether to accompany me or not. Now I shall live the country in the midst of December and she shows rigid inclination to follow me with our 15 years old daughter ? ?Now whether she will be entitled to get open work permit ? And how much I have to deposit in my scotia account ? She is a govt servant in India and owner of a big house too.
