Spouse visa

[arunvsubash]

Hey folks,

I have a question with regard to spouse visa.

Say either me or my wife go to study in Canada, I understand that you can apply for the dependant to get a visa and come, live and work with you.

1. Can we apply for the visa only after we finish the course or while either of us is studying ?
2. How long is the visa valid for the dependant. Say my course is 18 months and during the 18 months my spouse joins me. Then once my 18-month student visa is over does my spouse have to return back to our home country ? or could he stay and will his visa be extended if I get a Post Graduation Work Permit ?

Any info will be helpful.
