Spouse visa for Canada

You can go with her on spouse open work permit. You have to attach your marriage certificate, bills, lease as many documents you can to prove that your relation is genuine. Then a strong SOP. Ties to home country so to convince officer that you will leave Canada after your wife's study. Funds to support both of you. These are few of the documents you will have to attach additional to your wife's study permit application checklist.
Hi Navprateek thanks for replying me appreciated i wanted to ask one thing more thing that i have have reading in UBC website saying that most of the people do that after their spouse land in Canada on study permit their other half arrive in visitor visa and then they apply for open work work after landing their ,do you think is it better and secure way of doing and get visa , also should i let my partner get her student visa first then i apply for open work permit since she is i England and i am in New Zealand where do you think i should process my file after she gets her student visa from New Zealand or from India i am afraid applying from India could be a problem reason the rejections rate and all that since i have been living in New Zealand last three years what do think i should be doing please if you suggest me anything thanks
Now the first steps will be getting a visitor visa. The rejection rate for visitor visa is way more than what it is for SOWP, as your are a Indian citizen I think your application will be processed in India only. When you submit your file it will be handled by Canadian embassy in India. I could be wrong here.
The best option here is let your wife come first and then apply for your SOWP. My husband got his SOWP from New Delhi processed in about a month. We applied in person at vfs new delhi in Dec2015.

Thanks Navprateek, although i visited my partner in U.K as well i went to see her in U.K on a family visitor visa will that going to make any difference to my application my apologizes i didn't get that part in which you said your partner got open work permit so was it like this you arrived ahead then he applied after you were granted student visa on bases of yours thanks
Our story is like: We both were in Canada on study permit. My husband came in 2010 and I came in 2012. Then due to some reasons he had to go back to India and his study permit was about expire, because of certain circumstances we were not able to get an extension before he left. After 6 months of his stay in India we got married in Sept and by then I had work permit on me and met the minimum requirement to apply for SOWP application. Then same year after 3 months of our marriage we applied for his file. We attached a lot of documents to support our case, and did hire a lawyer for all this. He was back in Canada within 2 months.
hey Navprateek i talked few of the lawyers in Canada they said theirs no assuriety although we will try our best but no one can guarantee of visa also i have ones got my student visa rejection from Canada the reason was choosing the wrong course its so complicated our situation
Navprateek did you guys hired lawyer from Canada what would you suggest in my situation the best way should be i am not getting any clue of what should i do my partner is English she can easily get any visa she has been in Canada before also , she was also having her international experience visa for Canada of 3 years visa since thats quite similar to working holiday one she didn't used it as she wanted both of us fly together for Canada but unfortunately am not eligible for that visa because only certain countries get that visa and U.k is top most of them so i got stuck and because of me she is taking studies so that i can go with her now again more obstacles
No lawyer can give you the guaranty on approvals. Ours said the same thing. He did put efforts and got us through. Now you already has a rejection on your file. This may affect your case. You can try no one is holding you - a strong SOP can turn the tables around 
Do you think that if she goes in Canada for her studies and i go as a visitor showing a strong proof of companies sponsored visa letter and holiday leave and return flight ticket when i apply will that going to make a difference in immigration officer mind thinking that ill return after i visit her
