you should have applied for the open work permit along with her student visa application. CIC states that it may you may not be able to join your spouse later on.

I think you can give it a shot though. arrange the required funds for the period specified, complete all the required formalities and you should be able to make it.

All the best. :)

There is no way anyone here can say if she will get an OWP are you working in a job classified as NOC 0,A or B ? What reasons were given for the visitor visa refusals ?

Sure but chances are 50:50 what you guys need to do is to provide following all documents;
a) Invitation letter to you from your wife with strong SOP
b) Covering letter from you with again strong SOP
this two are the documents which will speak a lot in CIC
c) Proof for financial support as affidavit by some attorney and all claims in the affidavit should be as per CIC eligibility for financial claims
d) Work experience certificate
e) Salary certificate + pay slip for past 6 months + ITR forms for past two years
f) Wedding invitation
g) Wedding photographs and more photographs at various instances
h) Liquid cash of around 10K to 20K Canadian dollars in ur joint account
i) Education history of yours with detailed break-ups
j) Visa and passport copy of your wife and yours
k) Family information sheet - all forms as needed by CIC for OPW visa duly signed

The more the documents you submit - more the clarity over SOP - more than chances for approval.

I have planned for same for my wife once after I get my visa - waiting for visa

Thanks !
