I've been trying to get this question cleared out but not even IRCC has been able to give me the answer to it, so hopefully someone here can:
I'm currently on a study permit for 3 years (temporary residence), brought my wife and kids with me to Canada. She's currently on an open work permit applied under my study permit, already had all her degrees assessed and validated to Canada's standards, and has now a permanent job offer on a professional level. She speaks 4 languages (English, French, Spanish and German), I only speak English and Spanish but looking into learning French.
Now, I know that since I'm under a study permit I cannot apply for a permanent residence until I work a year's worth of full-time employment, but from her job offer perspective, which is very promising for her career development, we don't want to miss the opportunity given, so what would be the best approach to apply for a permanent residence in this situation?
If it's worth mentioning, we're looking to invest in a business in Canada but we're held back by the uncertainty of our future status.
Any feedback is welcomed, thank you!
