Hello All
Any help in form of personal experiences or otherwise will be greatly appreciated.
I belong to Mumbai, India. I am planning to join McGill university in Montreal for PhD studies starting Fall 2014.
I understand that for my visa I need a CAQ from Quebec immigration and a study permit from Canada immigration (which would include a TRV visa for initially entering Canada. My questions are :
1) What is the duration of my study permit, TRV visa and CAQ permit if the standard duration of my appointment at University is 3 years?
2) I understand my spouse is eligible for Open Work Permit. Is it recommended that she apply for a TRV from India and apply for OPW in Canada or should she apply in India only? I have read some people come on TRV and get the open work permit at the airport. Is this really feasible for all country entrants into Canada?
3) Finally will my wife require the CAQ permit too for entering Montreal along with the TRV?
Thank you!
Harshad
