Spouse & Dependent Visas
Don't let distance define your relationship. We provide end-to-end guidance for Spouse Open Work Permits (SOWP) and Dependent Visas, ensuring your family stays together throughout your global journey.
A Spouse Dependent Visa is an immigration authorization that allows the legally married spouse or common-law partner of a primary study or work visa holder to accompany them and legally reside (and often work full-time) in the destination country.
This visa category is specifically designed to facilitate family unification. In major destinations like Canada (via the Spousal Open Work Permit - SOWP), Australia, and the UK, it provides dependents with open employment rights, allowing them to seek any job without a local labor market assessment (LMIA), supporting the primary applicant both emotionally and financially.
Family Unification Strategy
We specialize in aligning your dependent application with the main applicant's status to ensure simultaneous or fast-tracked approvals.
Financial Planning
Accurate proof of funds and sponsorship documentation to meet the increased living cost requirements for 2026.
Relationship Evidence
Detailed audit of marriage certificates, joint accounts, and cohabitation evidence to satisfy 'Genuine Relationship' criteria.
Navigating the 2026 Regulations
Canada: SOWP Restrictions
Since the late 2024 policy updates, Spouse Open Work Permits in Canada are now primarily restricted to spouses of students in Master's and PhD programs, or those in professional programs like Medicine and Law. If the main applicant is in an Undergraduate program, SOWP eligibility is limited unless specific criteria are met.
UK & Australia Compliance
The UK Home Office and Australian Department of Home Affairs have also tightened dependent rules. Australian GS (Genuine Student) criteria now explicitly ask for detailed dependent profiles, while the UK requires the main applicant to be on a research-focused course.

Spousal Visa FAQs
Can my spouse work full-time on a SOWP?
Yes, in Canada, a Spousal Open Work Permit allows your partner to work for any employer full-time. In the UK, dependants of students in research-based programs generally have full work rights as well.
What if our marriage is less than a year old?
Recent marriages are highly scrutinized. We help you build a 'Relationship Timeline' with additional evidence like photographs, joint travel, and social proof to satisfy the officer's concerns.
Can children join the main applicant?
Absolutely. Dependent children can apply for study or visitor records depending on their age. We coordinate the family file so everyone gets their decision together.
