Hello

I received my letter of acceptance from a designated school. I applied for a study permit from outside of Canada and along I applied for a work permit for my spouse. I gave everything they asked for. Today I received a correspondence letter indicating that my spouse work permit has been refused on the ground of: "Accompanying dependant of refused principal applicant".
Should I have applied separately or should I have applied for the study permit first then after obtaining it apply for the work permit?

Kindly advise
Thanks

"Accompanying dependant of refused principal applicant" - Did your application get refused? or did you get a visa - form what i can read your spouses in eligibility is due to your application being refused

you will receive detailed letter explaining what you should do next. Normally you have to options Via mail or In person , my advice is to go in person. I have received this kind of message 1.5 yrs ago , took less than 5 minute.
