Yes, in most cases your spouse or common-law partner and dependent children can accompany you when you move to Canada on a work visa. They may apply for their own permits—spouses can often apply for an Open Work Permit, allowing them to work for almost any employer, while children may be eligible for study permits to attend school. Each family member must file a separate application and meet admissibility requirements, such as medical exams and security checks. Having your family with you helps create a stable and supportive environment while you work in Canada.
