Questions

1. Under what category do i have to apply to bring my spouse to Canada (Documents required)? How long does the process take?

I tried searching similar threads and saw some one asked the same question but not enough response. :(

Thank you for taking time to respond!!! GL to all!!!

You include your spouse in your CEC applications, you don't have to select a new category other
than CEC.
When you're married, check the document checklist for required documents for your spouse and
submit those to CPP-O.

Thanks Toby for quick reply! I understand the process of informing CPP-O to update my status and filling out additional forms for her under CEC.

But i'm wondering about the process to get her to Canada in the mean time, like temporary visa, tourist visa or dependant visa?? since i have open work permit till july 2015, is there anyway i can get her visa?

Thanks!!!

Since you have an open work permit, your spouse would be eligible for a spousal open work permit.
