SPOUSE VISA

[Maria Khalid]

I am PhD student in Canada on a fully funded PhD scholarship and I would like to invite my husband (1 year of electrical engineer experience in Pakistan) here. I just would like to know what would be good choice for me if i apply for his visit/tour visa first and if application is approved then apply for open work permit after his arrival in Canada or Should I apply for his open work permit directly? I just would like to know which option would be best for me for his application to invite him from Pakistan. Any previous experience based suggestion would be highly appreciated. Thanks

Would apply for the SOWP directly. He isn’t really a visitor he wants to remain in Canada.
