Wife on Student Visa- SPOUSE CAN WORK

Hi, My Wife has a Canadian Student Visa and I can work there as well? Rite, that is what I read in the Embassy webpage.
However, we have been to Canada before and willing to migrate in future.

Can the above way of entering Canada on a student visa and further applying for a PR gives us a gud chance.??

Any replies on this will be aprreciated.
Thanks..

If your wife is on a study permit you can work in Canada BUT in a skilled job so you need to look,depending on the province where your wife studies,if your area of working is seen as skilled....You will get your work permit for as long as your wife has her study permit,not a day more.
If you plan to immigrate to Canada,you working there will give you more points therefore higher chances of getting yoyr pr

Hi happymama

Thanks for the reply..My wife studies at BC. Sorry but what do you mean by saying "if my work is seen as Skill"??? Does that mean only specific skill holders spouse will get the open work permit?? in my case I m from Finance industry and will not I get the open work permit??

As the spouse of student in Canada you are very likely eligible for an open work permit. Working on a work permit may serve as a valuable stepping stone towards eventual PR status using the Canadian Experience Class. In order to qualify under this category your work experience needs to fall within a "skilled" category. These include the following:

Managerial jobs (NOC skill level 0)
Professional jobs (NOC skill type A)
Technical jobs and skilled trades (NOC skill type B)
