Applying for study permit, Can my wife apply with me?

[kashish1728]

I am thinking of applying for Study permit in Canada, Can my wife apply with me at the same time to come as a dependent? Or does she have to wait to apply untill I receive the study permit? Can she later change her dependency status to go to school?

Either way. only she is not your dependent and has to apply on her one even if together with you.

Can she later change her dependency status to go to school?

She may try. But being on visitor visa she needs to apply to VO outside of Canada.

What are chances of getting a dependent visa for a student in Canada?

Can we apply the student visa and the dependent visa together? Or once student reaches Canada, then the dependent visa has to be applied? Which is better way?

1) It depends on YOUR and her circumstances.
2). Either way.

Hi,

I am in the same situation. But the difference is my wife is applying for Student visa and I am going as her dependent.

What is the best option by which I can accompany her in canada with Open Work Permit?

Can you help me out?

Thanks
