Hi, I'm a Canadian citizen and I just married my wife who is from Colombia and is here as a student right now. We're both students, ages 24 and 23, and I plan on sponsoring my wife but we know the application takes some time and it's going to be hard for us economically.
My question is, if she has a student visa can we apply to get a work permit for her? and if we did would this affect the application for sponsorship later on, or could she work while we wait for the sponsorship approval? if we didn't apply for a work permit, how does the sponsorship work, ie.- when would she be able to start working?
Also, if there's anyone that's immigrated from Colombia, what is needed for the security police check?
Thanks so much beforehand to anyone that can help us with this.
