Hi,

I am an Australian Citizen and possess an Australian Passport. I am considering applying for a WHP Visa.
My wife is a citizen of Moldova and possesses a Moldovan Passport. She is not an Australian Citizen.

If I am able to obtain a WHP Visa for Canada, is my wife able to accompany me to Canada as a regular visitor / non-worker based on the fact that she is my wife and I am traveling to Canada utilizing my WHP Visa?

I found some information at http://www.whpcanada.org.au/faq_lodging.shtml where it says;

"On arrival at the Canadian port of entry, a person accompanying their spouse or common-law partner or parent who holds the WHP work permit may ask to be granted admission to Canada for a duration coinciding with their spouse or common-law partner or parent's WHP work permit but the Port of Entry Officer has the discretion to grant this or not. The spouse must provide a copy of the marriage certificate"

But I wasn't sure if this was assuming that the WHP work permit holder's partner was an Australian Passport Holder or if it refereed to anybody who is the partner of a WHP Work Permit Visa Holder.

I tried to search for relevant Canadian legislation on the Internet but was unable to find anything specific.

Thanks and Kind Regards,
Andrew

Your spouse is not passport visa exempt and must therefore apply for her visitor admission at the visa office in her jurisdiction. She may certainly request such admission for the same duration as yours; her case will be assessed largely on its own merits and she will have to be accepted as a temporary resident, which is a primarily discretion based decision by the immigration official.
