Spousal Work Permit
Are you the partner accompanying a student in Canada? Is your partner Canadian and you want to know what you have to do to get residency for couples?
Do you have children and want to know if there is any type of family visa that allows reunification?
Today we are going to tell you about all the options offered by the Canadian government for those foreigners who want to immigrate to the country with their partner, children, or family.
Family Visa or Family Sponsorship
With this visa, your family members will be able to study and work in Canada once they obtain permanent residence in the country. The family members who most take advantage of this visa are usually the children or the partner.
To do this, the person sponsoring your partner or children must be over 18 years of age and meet one of the following options:
Be a Canadian citizen
Be registered in the country under the Canadian Indian Act
Be a permanent resident
Also, the sponsor must demonstrate that they have financial solvency to cover the basic needs of the family member they are going to sponsor and that they do not receive social assistance for reasons other than a disability.
You want to sponsor a child who is dependent on minors.
You want to sponsor a couple who have a child with dependent children.
You can sponsor your partner whether they are married, if they are a de facto couple or if they demonstrate a relationship of more than a year.
Visas For Dependent Children
Be under 22 years old
Not being married or having a domestic partner
Children aged 22 or over would be considered dependents if they are unable to support themselves financially due to a specific physical or mental condition or have been financially dependent on their parents before turning 22.
Partner visas dependent on a Study Permit
To request this, permit for the couple, the main visa holder must be a full-time student at:
Public post-secondary school, such as a college or university
University level private school in Quebec
Canadian private school that can legally grant bachelor’s, masters, or doctorate degrees.
Processing time
This permit will allow your partner to work full time while you are studying. Normally this “open work permit” will have the same duration as the Study Permit on which it depends. Unfortunately, you cannot request this permit for your partner if you study an English course. We remind you that the Canadian government does not grant work permits to language course students. You will only get the right to work through a Study Permit. This is only achieved through higher education courses. If you choose to pursue higher education in Canada, once you finish studying, the Canadian government offers different types of work permits with which you can extend your stay in the country.
They usually last between one and two years after you finish your studies and will generally be a perfect bridge to your permanent residence, should you want to stay in the country for the long term.
