i'm not sure if you can sponsor your wife if you're only here on a work visa, but keep browsing this forum to see what others in your situation have done! maybe your wife can get a visa through work as well? honestly you have to think of how the immigration officers will view your case, if your wife has no intention of going back to india, then they will be suspicious. you need to prove your standing in canada somehow. keep checking this forum, there's loads of good info on here....good luck and hope it all works out for you. (be patient! very very patient!!)

Since you are not a PR you cant sponsor your wife. So what you can do is for your wife to apply for work permit,student or as a visitor on her own and try to join you ,try it those are the only way for now. Or later you can apply permanent residence and sponsor her. Goodluck hope someone can give you more detailed information.

As mentioned, you cannot sponsor someone if you are not a resident of this country. Work visa =/= permanent resident.

Cook is NOC C right?

She will have to obtain a visitor's visa, find a job with a LMO so she can get her own work permit, or be accepted into a Canadian college/university and get a study permit. All are very likely to be rejected with her husband in Canada (overstay risk) especially the visitor's visa.

If you are still working in Canada legally and on work permit your wife can qualify for an open work permit.

Here is what cic site says about it:

If you are authorized to work in Canada, your accompanying family members may also be able to work in this country by virtue of the permit you were issued. No other authorization is required. If they intend to work while in Canada, your accompanying family members should find out if they are eligible for an “open” work permit.

Open work permits allow them to work in any job with any employer. An open work permit also means that they may be hired without the employer having to obtain an LMO (the normal authorization required). Certain jobs may require medical checks or licensing from professional organizations. Accompanying family members’ work permits will be valid for no longer than the duration of your own work permit.

This is for workers with a NOC A, B, or 0. Other NOCs aren't eligibile.

If your family members want to work in Canada

If you are authorized to work in Canada, your accompanying family members may also be able to work in this country by virtue of the permit you were issued. No other authorization is required. If they intend to work while in Canada, your accompanying family members should find out if they are eligible for an “open” work permit.

An open work permit also means that they may be hired without the employer having to obtain an LMO (the normal authorization required). Certain jobs may require medical checks or licensing from professional organizations. Accompanying family members' work permits will be valid for no longer than the duration of your own work permit.

Typically, your spouse's eligibility for an open work permit depends on the skill level of your job. If the job you are doing is listed as a National Occupational Classification (NOC) 0, A or B, your spouse or common-law partner could be eligible for an open work permit. You must also be authorized to work in Canada for a period of at least six months.

If you are working in an occupation that requires a lower level of formal training, your spouse may also be eligible for an open work permit through an active pilot project. Find out more.

In addition, your dependent children may be eligible for an open work permit through an active pilot project. Find out more.

Accompanying family members must always apply for their own work permits. They should apply for one at the same time as you, before entering Canada. Should the decision to work occur only after their arrival in Canada, they can apply once they are in this country.

If you are the holder of a Post-Graduation Work Permit, which is a type of open work permit, your spouse will need to attach a copy of your work permit to his or her application for an open work permit. Your spouse will also need to provide information about your employment by attaching supporting documents, including the following:
•A letter from your current employer confirming employment or a copy of your employment offer or contract; AND
•A copy of one of your pay slips.

I'm fairly certain Cook is a NOC C. He can look into the active pilot projects to see if his province has anything that could help, but it's unlikely they will grant a OWP to a spouse on a NOC C WP.

Not it is not, Cook is NOC 6322 level B.

Then I stand corrected. Easiest way to go with a NOC is spousal open work permit.
