Canada Study Visa + Spouse

Hi Sharon

It is really great to find some guide like this website.

I have got admission in Univ of Manitoba in PhD Physics (first year will be Masters). I am being awarded $16,400 + $4000 scholarship.

After completing one year study there, I want to take my spouse there. I am engaged and will be married before I leave for Canada.

Can you please tell me that how feasible it it?

Canada Study Visa + Spouse
by: Sharon - Expats Guide

Hi Mueed

Thanks for your e-mail and for your comment about the expats moving and relocation guide.

Congratulations on your scholarship :) and enjoy your stay in Manitoba.

Before I answer I must emphasize that I am not an Immigration officer.

Here is what I found out:

According to citizenship and immigration Canada your spouse may accompany you to Canada or may join you at a later date.

When applying for your Canadian student visa make sure to include your spouse on your application. Please note that you may be required to provide a marriage certificate. The marriage certificate must be translated to English and Notarized by your Embassy.

Your spouse must apply by filling out her own temporary residence application (visitor, student or worker).

Your spouse must meet all the requirements for temporary residents in Canada, and must satisfy the immigration officer that she will be in Canada for a temporary stay.

Other than that your spouse may be required to provide evidence that they she has no criminal record, and may need a medical examination.

You and your spouse might not be eligible for health care in Canada, therefore make sure to consult your university and/or to research international health insurance possibilities.

You can start by consulting the following expatriates health insurance company:

MultiNational Underwriters .

Good Luck

Dear Vdpwn

Thanks for your inquiry (please note that I am not an immigration officer).

Your spouse may accompany you to Canada. She must apply by filling out their own temporary residence application (visitor, student or worker).

However, you may send her application forms in the same envelope with only one payment receipt for the total amount.

For more information please make sure read the Canadian student visa application guide.

Best of Luck
Sharon
