Skilled worker and sponsorship of spouse

Postby taib1983 on Wed Mar 16, 2011 3:59 am

Hi,

If my husband applies as a skilled worker, is it possible for him to apply also for the sponsorship of spouse (so that we go to Canada together) and at the same time apply for my open work permit also?
In this case for what type of visa should I apply as a spouse?
We really want to go to Canada together and at the same time.

Thank you in advance!

Spouses of foreign workers (6 months or greater duration) in occupations classified as high skill are eligible to seek open work permits. A work permit application for the spouse is submitted and an entry visa granted concurrently if needed.
