Will my spouse be allowed to work on a dependent visa in Canada for a Master's?

Yes, your spouse can work in Canada while you study, if you meet certain conditions.

As an international student enrolled full-time in a master's program, your spouse is typically eligible to apply for an open work permit. This permit allows them to work for any employer in Canada, without needing a job offer.

- Relationship: Must be your legal spouse or common-law partner.
- Your status: You must hold a valid study permit and be enrolled full-time at a recognized institution.
- Application: Your spouse applies for the open work permit, usually after you receive your study permit.
