Dependent visa for spouse

[naren420]

My sister got a student visa in Mount Royal College, Calgary. She is married. Can her husband apply for a dependent visa and travel with her when she joins the college in August 2009? Or does she has come here first and then sponsor him? Please clarify.

Hi everyone,

I am an international PhD student (electrical and communication engineer) in Canada, I have a student visa for 4 years.
I want to bring my spouse to stay with me during my studying years, my salary is not enough for both however we have a common bank account in our country. Would this be a sufficient financial support so that I can sponsor him?
If not please can you tell me what to do?
If he get dependent visa and arrive to Canada, can he change to student visa later on from inside Canada or he should leave Canada to get his student visa?

Thanks for the help
Regards
