Hi, I need advice to people who had same situation as I am. I am currently working in Canada on a temporary work permit NOC 6212 Assistant manager in a fast food. It is valid up to march 2010. My wife and kid is still back in the Philippines and I want them to come here to Canada. Which would be a better option for me. Would I go back to the Philippines for a vacation and apply them with me on my re-entry visa or should I let my wife apply for a open spousal work permit. Thank you.

Sorry there is no "entitlement" for WP holders to bring their family. The family will have to apply for a TRV with a copy of the OP's work permit. If CHC decides that the OP makes insufficient income to support his family in Canada or that they may not return, they will not issue a visa.
They will also require medicals as well.

Im in the same boat. Just one more question here:

My family is just about to submit their applications for work permit and study permit to join me here. My occupation in NOC classification A and I work in Calgary.

Do you think an annual salary of 55k in Alberta will be considered insufficient for a family of 5 i.e 3 kids?

And if they come on visitors visa, can there by any problem in changing their status here in Canada?

Please, I need your advice.

The low income cutoff at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5196E10.asp says you need C$42,469 to provide for a family of 5 so you should be ok.

The requirements to get any kind of temporary visa is that CIC believe you will leave when the visa is up. If they believe that your wife will not overstay her visa, I don't think she will be denied a work permit but if they don't believe her, she will not get a work permit or probably not visitor visa either.
