Hi everyone, we are in the complicated situation and really need some help....
am applying for study permit in canada for my postgraduate course...(am chinese and living in uk now...psw visa)..and my partner is from india who is going to go to canada with me. (student visa in uk)...If I apply for my study permit from london, can he apply for open work permit with me together? He thought about applying for TRV but seems like there is high chance to get rejected... Also, we have letters from his families saying that they will support us during we stay in canada and my parents bank statement with a letter as well. So if he can, what documents he needs to apply for it? and how much money we have to show? (we cant show any money from our own account...all funding support are from my parents, his families and two sponsors... ) Could anyone give us some suggestion please?

p.s.: is it required to show letters from university and previous employer?

if can, which forms he should submit apart from IMM1295E and family information?

No, he doesn't he submits the requests for the OWP with his TRV application and your study permit application and TRV.
