If my wife shows proof of work experience with pay slips, will that improve her eligibility for a study visa in Canada?

Including your wife's work experience and pay slips can help strengthen the financial stability aspect of your study permit application, especially if she is applying as a dependent. These documents show your family's ability to support itself during your studies in Canada.

However, the main eligibility criteria for a study permit remain:
- Admission to a Designated Learning Institution (DLI)
- Proof of sufficient funds for tuition, living expenses, and return travel
- Genuine intent to study with a clear educational plan

Your wife's documents can support your financial proof but do not replace the core requirements above.
