Background:
1. I hold a study permit. My program starts in May and will last for 2 years.
2. My husband and I will arrive at Canada together. My husband holds a visitor visa.
3. My husband plans to enter Canada using visitor visa. Then he apply for the Student's Spouse OWP (Open Work Permit) within Canada.
4. We both applied for the Express Entry. We will get to know the outcome in 2-3 months
5. In 2016, both my husband and I have stayed in Canada for 3 months, using our visitor visa

Question:


When we both arrive at Canada border, if my husband is asked the purpose of his travel, how should he response?

Option 1. State his true intention: enter Canada using visitor visa then apply for OWP
Option 2. Just say that he come to Canada to keep accompany with me


Which one is better? Any other suggestion is also welcomed! Thank you :)
