Obtaining an Open Work Permit

[Nafisa Lak]

Hi,

This is Nafisa from Kolkata, India. My fiancé is in Canada on a study permit right now. We shall get married in Aug, 2016. I then wish to apply for an open work permit for myself in the month of October to visit most probably in early 2017. The concern is I haven't completed my Bachelor's yet. I am pursuing B.tech and I shall give my final year exams in June 2017. Does this make me ineligible? Also, I don't have any work experience as such as I am still studying and will not be able to secure any job in Canada during this period. However I have teaching experience in a coaching institute as part time for 1.5 yrs.

Please let me know if I am eligible to apply and if yes, will my application stand strong?
