visa for spouse of international student

[canuck_in_uk]

Thank you everyone for your advice. I was considering to reapply for a OWP for my husband from India again but someone suggested us to apply for TRV first from India and then apply for a work permit after he comes to Canada. Can anyone suggest which way would be better?

Reapply for the OWP. Be sure to include a copy of your student permit and university/college documents.

hi,
I am on a student visa. I applied for my husband's open work permit from India but it got rejected the rejection letter says
'You have not demonstrated that you come within the exceptions under section 186 of the regulations
exempting you from the requirement to obtain a work permit or that your employment in Canada comes
within the exceptions to section 203 of the regulations. As a result, your offer of employment must be the
subject of an economic effect determination before a work permit can be issued to you. Your employer in
Canada should contact the local office of the Department of Human Resources and Skills Development
Canada to begin this process'
Can anyone explain me about these sections and what documents should we provide to remove this objection?
Thanks.

It's pretty well explained on the CIC website. A spouse of a full-time student with a valid study permit attending an accepted post-secondary institution can apply for an open work permit. It doesn't matter what the level of study is or whether it's a college or university.
