hello everyone
I applied for my wife’s work permit and just got approved. My question is that is there a specific period of time that she has to enter in Canada?
She’s in india and I’m planning to go to india and come back with her after few months. Is there any rules that she has to enter Canada once she get her passport stamped?

How did she get approved for work permit if she is not in Canada and you are not sponsoring her inland? You can't leave Canada for more than a short vacation if you are a PR and are sponsoring your spouse.

She’s eligible because I have my PNP and I’m not PR yet. I just heard from someone that she has to come to Canada now that she have SWOP in certain time. So want to be sure is it true or she can come whenever she want?

She only received the Work Visa which is a temporary resident Visa, her work permit will be issued in the airport when she get here. After that she can leave if she wants and come back before her work permit expired. There is
