Dear Gents ,

I was looking for advice regarding my case.

Actually, I am going to apply for a study permit in Canada .
I want to bring my spouse along with me. However, I would like to ask about way of applying for him.
I would really appreciate if you can help me regarding this issue and what is the best way to apply for our visas.

I am thinking to apply for my study permit application first then I will follow my spouse open work permit application separately at a later stage.

In this regards, I have a few questions as follow:

1. The open work permit application for him should be applied at once along with my application or it better to apply separately ?
2. If the open work permit application my spouse would be applied separately then what I best way to fill imm5645e form? Can I state that my spouse is accompanying me whithout inclouding an application fro him at this stage ?
3. Shall I state in my application that he will sponsor me during my stay or this is not recommended ?

Regards,

1. Either. Spouses are not assured a visa just so you know.
3. You need to show your financial information for your studies. Not sure if you are asking whether your spouse will be working in Canada to support you. Can't say that and you need to show tuition plus $10,000 irregardless of whether you spouse gets a visa. The OWP takes approximately 4 months.

Thanks for your prompt response.

I have enough funding which can cover my tuitions plus my living expenses during my stay in Canada additionally I was thinking to enclose along with my application an additional financial support letter from my spouse as a supporting document since he is full time employee on our home country . I am confused if this will help or will make a conflict in case if he will apply for the application with me at the same time,

Additionally, In case if I will apply for myself only ,
What should I write on the imm 5645e form ? Shall I mark NO or YES at the column of the spouse accompany question ? noting that my spouse may accompany me later on.
