ANYONE WHO HAS DONE THIS BEFORE PLEASE HELP THANKS
As per CIC , your spouse may apply for a work permit if:
* you are a full-time student at:
a public post-secondary institution, such as a college or university or collège d’enseignement général et professionnel (CEGEP) in Quebec
a private post-secondary institution that operates under the same rules and regulations as a public institution, and receives at least 50 percent of its financing for its overall operations from government grants (currently, only private college-level educational institutions in Quebec qualify) or
a Canadian private institution authorized by provincial statute to confer degrees
* you have a valid study permit
Work permits for your spouse is valid for the same period of time as your study permit.
Accompanying spouses of foreign students is eligible for an open work permit, which means they do not need a job offer or a labour market opinion from Service Canada.
