I work in Canada with a full time employment on a post grad work permit.
I applied for my wifes visitor visa and was denied saying "she may not return back".
For the next time Should we apply for a visitor visa or Open Spousal Work Permit?
I am in the same situation as you. I am getting married in couple of months in India and wanted to get my spouse. Did you get the OWP. Can you suggest me which is better visiting Visa or OWP.

Your wife can apply for Open Work Permit if she’s planning to work in Canada. She can not work on a visitor visa. She needs a work permit to work in Canada as a temporary resident.
Which will be better between visitor visa and open spousal work permit? It depends on her case and plans. You didn’t mention how long she wants to stay in Canada. Does she only want to get a visit?
The validity of a visitor visa depends on the type of application. For example, if it’s a single entry, it may only be valid for six months. On the other hand, multiple entries may be valid for even 10 years. In the case of Open Work Permit, the validity will be the same as the husband's work permit.
we showed 16,000 dollars in bank accounts,Our property documents,Wife's pay stubs,My Employment letter,My Work Permit,My Lease agreement.
These are the major documents that we submitted.Hope this helps.please feel free to ask if you have any more questions.
Hi Jijuanair...thanks for your information. I am currently working in Canada on closed work permit and my PR application is under process, medicals are not done yet as its been just one month i filed. I am getting married in this April 2013 and my fiance is in India. Can you please tell me which forms/ documents do I need to fill and submit for my spouce's visa ? secondly, what is the procedure to apply work permit for her ? Can she get it ? OR should i call her on visitor visa ? Any idea about processing time for visa.
Sorry for the late reply.I believe these are the forms that we submitted
Form IMM 1295 – Application for a Work Permit;
• Form IMM 5645 – Additional Family Information;
• Schedule 1 – Application for Temporary Resident Permit;
As both are temporary resident visas, applicants for visitor's visas and open work permits must demonstrate that they have significant ties to their home country in order to necessitate leaving Canada at the end of their stay.
If you were unable to acquire a visitor's visa, applying for an open work permit without a change in documentation or situation, will likely net you the same result - refusal.
