Can I take my spouse with me on a spouse visa when I go for my master's abroad in Canada?

Yes, you can bring your spouse with you while pursuing your master's abroad, but the process and permissions depend on the country.

For Canada (your preferred destination):

- Visitor Visa: Your spouse can apply for a visitor visa for short stays (up to six months).
- Open Work Permit: If you enroll in a full-time master's program of 16 months or longer, your spouse may be eligible for an open work permit, allowing them to work for any employer in Canada during your studies. This is subject to change.

Other countries have different dependent visa options and work rights for spouses.

If you plan to bring your spouse, discuss your specific situation with your LeapScholar counsellor for guidance on the next steps.
