Study Visa and Open Work Permit for Spouse together

[jitendergrover0101]

Hello,
I am getting PhD admission in Quebec for Jan 2020. I want to go to Canada with my family including my wife and 2 children. So, I am looking to apply for my Study Visa and my wife's Open Work Permit and Dependent Visa for my children together.

Many have suggested that it is a big risk as all visas will get rejected. Should I take this risk or avoid it.

Please help.

A common approach is that you apply for a study permit hence student visa, and TRV for your wife and kids , do them separately of course .

after those applications have been approved, come to Canada and your wife can apply for an open work permit and visitors extension ( aka visitor record ) for the kids .

Thanks for the reply.
Could you please share your views on:
1. Would my wife require a job offer to apply for Open Work Permit while on Visitor Visa in Canada?
2. Could you please throw some light on the reason I should not apply for SP and Open Work Permit together?

Thanks in advance.

1. no, a valid job offer is not necessary when you apply for an open work permit.

2. it's just based on my experience , when you apply everything together you got a higher chance of getting refused together . when you have already got your study permit , the status of your other family members will be solely based on yours, study permit that is . it's just easier when you have already obtained your status. I honestly don't know what the VO will take into consideration when they process those applications.

What are the requirements for applying Visitor Visa for Spouse? Does she require to have funds in account/joint-account? What are other requirements?
