Hi All,
I am currently in Canada,Montreal with an Open work permit and employed. I obtained my work permit through PGWP. Currently the status on my visa is W-1.
I recently got married and I am planning to apply visa for my partner. She had tried to apply for a visitor visa few months ago and her visa got rejected - because she was single and unmarried and the officer did not see enough reason for her to return back to India.

I now posses a marriage certificate which proves our relationship. I wanted to know what is the fasted way to obtain a visa - do I apply through visitor visa again or do I apply for a SOWP visa?
Since her visitor visa was rejected in the beginning will she face any risk of rejection again?
Is she eligible to apply for SOWP based on my work permit?
Also, is it mandatory to change my martial status on my passport?

Please advise.
Thanks in advance!
