Greetings,
I am a Brazilian citizen who is currently holding a Letter of Introduction for an Open Work Permit. My husband is about to start studying in Canada this January, and we had our visas approved back in November of 2019. We were set to travel to Toronto this April, but then Covid-19 happened and we got held back. My husband deferred his semester twice, until this year when it was informed that certain international students were allowed to travel to Canada if their Learning Institution had a Covid-19 readiness plan. It is also stated that family members may accompany them.
Since we are VERY close to our departure date, I am having doubts about the certainty that we can in fact go together. Even though it is stated on the official government website, it is not clear that foreign workers holding Open Work Permits (but no Job Offer yet) can accompany their spouses. Airlines and consulates keep referring to one another for information, and it seems like I may not get a precise answer.
Does anyone know this? Can spouses of international students go with them to Canada?
