Can my spouse work in canada when I(I hold canada PR) work in another country

[srikahari]

Hi,

Please clarify on this

What if I hold a Canadian PR and my spouse has a dependent PR visa,
would my spouse be eligible to work there in Canada ? when I am in a different country (ex: USA with a valid H1 visa)

In detail:

Assume I am granted a PR visa via Express Entry when I am residing in US with a work permit (H1B)
Can my spouse alone come to work in Canada when I continue to work in US?


Please help clarify this.

Thanks and Regards,

Yes.

But keep in mind that to maintain your PR status in Canada, each of you must live in Canada for 2 out of every 5 rolling years.
