Spouse Visa query for an IEC visa holder?????

[koolchamp81]

Hi All,
I have received Canadian work permit under International experience Canada category and my query is that if my spouse can get an open work permit or not ? if so, how should it be done... if no, what other options can we explore as she holds an Indian passport and is not eligible under IEC...
I hold an Australian passport and yet to activate my International experience Canada Visa... I would like to take her along...should we first apply for TRV on Indian passport.. what are the chances of getting Temporary Resident visa?
one more thing... is invitation letter is mandatory to get TRV , can't i just write a letter to the embassy that I have work permit and will be visiting canada to activate the same and please issue TRV for my wife?????
Please advice me..
Thanks

1. Nope she has to apply for a work permit in her own right.
2. She needs a TRV. (probably not that good that it will be approved)
3. No an invitation is not mandatory, You will have to demonstrate sufficient funds to support her in Canada without her working.
