An applicant admitted to a fall program asked how to bring their spouse to Canada alongside their own study permit application.
What the thread advised:- Once you start your study permit application, the online form gives you the option to add your spouse to your profile.
- Select the open work permit option for your spouse — this is the standard route (a Spouse Open Work Permit, or SOWP) that lets them work in Canada while you study, rather than filing a fully separate application from scratch.
Takeaway: you don't need a separate process to bring your spouse — add them within your own study permit application and select the open work permit option for them.
