What is a Spouse/Dependent Visa?

A Spouse/Dependent Visa allows the spouse or dependent family members of international students, PR holders, or temporary visa holders to join them abroad. Whether your partner is studying in Canada or living in Australia as a permanent resident or skilled worker, this visa enables families to stay connected and grow together.
