Hi ! I am a long haul truck driver( NOC - C 7511 ) from New Brunswick. I have received my PNP Nomination and Support letter for work permit extension on 17 November and applied for My Permanent residency along with my spouse and son.
My wife is in India ( she got visitor visa refused twice, once in April 2019, My status was visitor. Second time in December 2019, my status was worker at that time.

My question is as i have applied for permanent residency and received PNP, what is the best option that my wife can come to Canada. Can she come on work permit or Do i have to again apply for visitor visa. If i have to apply visitor visa only, is there any chances of getting a visa approval during these pandemic times.

“Open work permits for spouses and common-law partners
Spouses and common-law partners of provincially nominated exemption code T13 work permit holders may apply for an exemption code T13 open work permit, irrespective of the skill level of the principal applicant’s occupation. The open work permit should be location-restricted to the principal applicant’s province of work. The duration should match the lesser of either the passport validity or the principal applicant’s work permit validity.”
