No, just your visitor visa and proof of funds.

hmmm, but since you only have a visitors visa and not a temporary residence permit, wont you have to come back when that expires ?

maybe you should have tried for a dependent visa along with your wife's application.

1. You should note that TRPs are only issued to persons who are inadmissible to Canada. The OP has a TRV, and when he enters Canada, he would have to show funds to support himself as well as a copy of his spouses study permit. He can also apply for an open work permit at the Port of Entry, if his spouse is enrolled in an eligible course of study.

ah ok, so that explains it. you travel to Canada on a Visitors Visa, at the PoE, show the required docs & funds and get a Open work permit stamped and stay there.

Thanks PMM ! :)

All the best to you s10dulkar ! have a great stay 8)
