HI,
first you have to obtain TRV and then after only you can apply for OWP inside/outside canada.

Your OWP will expires when the study permit of your principle applicant expires. So in that case you will have to return to your home country. You have to show the VO that you have enough property, settled family etc here in your home country and you will return back here once your OWP expires.

better option is to apply from UK than India and if you are applying from UK, they dont consider ties to home country (based on my own exp.).for TRV you can get one letter from your boss "chottu" :D stating that your job is secured in UK and you are going for 2 months holiday. and in addition you can provide your rental agreement, payslips and most important any installment paying back against any loan in India (for house/flat)
i heard somewhere, you cant change your status from visitor to any other kind of visa?? ??? can anyone please confirm how and when to apply for OWP??
best of luck :)
 
Quoting SenoritaBella:

Many spouses on the forum who applied for TRV or visitor visa have been rejected because the VO did not think they will leave Canada at the end of their stay. To obtain a TRV, your husband has to show strong ties to his home country(India), but he currently resides in the UK and you(his wife) in Canada, so he may have a hard time satisfying the officer. The officer will be right in having doubts since your real plan is for him to get a work permit, right?

Why not apply for the open work permit and the TRV from the get go? As a student, your husband is eligible for an open work permit, valid for the same duration as your study permit.

See under "Spouses of Foreign Students": http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/france/visas/spouses-conjoint.aspx?lang=eng&view=d and click on "work permit application form" for the application package.
