Hi. I just have a question. Isn't it the application should be open work permit for the spose? Though the spose will not be given an OWP in the country of the applicant and it will be given in the port of entry. The last time i read something about this, the student applied for TRV and the embassy sent him a letter asking if he has an intention to work in Canada and he replied by saying he will after 3 months in Canada. The embassy sent a letter asking him to fill up IMM (i forgot what it's called) but it's an application for OWP. I will look for the link of the forum here. I'm using my cellphone right now and will for the link using my laptop as soon as I get home.enfield said:

This is the link where the spouse applied for TRV but was asked to submit Application Permit Made Made Outside Canada. His name is Showdog.

You can do either. You can include your spouse in your application and apply for OWP. You do also have a choice of going first to Canada as a student and let your spouse follow you later.
Some says it's better to go first, but for others they took the risk and brought their family with them. Some were granted a visa and some were not fortunate to get a visa. Others say getting a longer course, like 3 years or master degree/PhD, will get you a higher chance to bring your family with you. IMHO NO ONE can predict what will happen in your spouse's application. It all depends on the VO who will handle your case. You might get a strict VO. If luck is in your side, you will get a lenient VO. It will also depends on the documents you will show. Apparently having strong ties in your own country will grant you or your spouse a visa. In cic website, it clearly states that a student or international student can bring his/her family with him/her. But again, everything will depend on the documents you will show. Sad to say, no matter how sincere we are, the Visa Officers in Canadian Embassies around the world have the last say.
Hi Kuldeep. I applied for SOWP on 27th Sept, 2015. It was approved on Jan 29th, 2016. I understand it took so long because there is usually congestion in Sept. In any case, it took me 125 frustrating days to get the SOWP...hopefully, yours will be earlier. Goodluckkuldeep7 said:
