open work permit for a permanent resistant's spouse as a faster way

[fatimak]

hi;
i am a permanent resistant but i am currently living outside of canada. my husband is not a PR and we are both going to apply for a PHD program in canada. since there is no guarantee for my husband to get a student visa and we don't want to live separately for a long time (applying for spousal sponsorship may take a long time); i was wondering if it is possible to apply for spousal open work permit for my husband when i started my PhD in canada. would it be a faster way of getting visa?
thank you

As you are a PR, the answer is definitely "NO".

with respect!

Its Permanent Resident. not resistant

1. You can't apply for open work permit.
2. the best option is apply for student visa.
3. Apply for his sponsorship after you land Canada.

Best of luck
