Hi everyone!

I am having difficulties with the "Check Your Eligibility Tool" since this is the only way to start an online application it is not allowing my wife to apply for a Work Permit but Visitor visa only. Here is my situation;

We are in Canada I have a PGWP and I am working on NOC A, my wife status is Student (ESL School). When I answer all the wright questions at the Eligibility Wizard it just show the option to apply for a Visitor Visa, but if I change the answers stating that my wife is a Visitor in Canada, then the system allow her to apply for a Work Permit as spouse of someone with WP working on NOC 0,A,B.

Therefore seems like she must apply for a Visitor Visa first and then apply for a Work Permit. This is awkward, why she can't move from Student Visa to Work Visa? Does anyone have any idea what could we be doing wrong?

Please share your thoughts.
