[ishanarorase]

Hi All,

I am currently on work visa with my wife and living in montreal. Closed for me and Open for my wife.

I am planning to make my wife as a student in a full time course for 2 years in montreal.

As a spouse will i get the open work permit ?

If yes then after how many months and for how long.

@legalfalcon your precious advice will be very valuable for me.

Only if your spouse who is on a student visa is not eligible for PGWP, then the spouse cannot apply for OWP.
