我們知道學生的配偶是可以申請陪讀工簽的，這種工簽在境內申請的成功率還挺高，換句話說基本沒有拒簽的。我們跟大多數留學客戶都會交代好分工要明確，具體來說就是要確定好誰辦理學簽，學簽拿到後，另外一方再辦理工簽找工作。
都學習行不行？當然可以，但那樣就要出雙份的國際學生學費，而且沒有人能工作獲得收入來源，通常我們不推薦這麼做。
但有些客戶並不是一開始就計劃的非常清晰，兩個人都辦了學簽，開始讀書了才發現划不來。或者兩個學生在讀書的過程中確立了關係，決定節省經費將一方改為工簽。這種情況可以申請陪讀工簽嗎？
今天一位諮詢客戶給我們展示了這樣一封拒簽信：
就是留學生本身並不能申請基於留學生的配偶工簽，這是根據哪一條移民法呢？
要弄清楚拒簽根據哪條移民法，得先弄清楚發放這種簽證是根據哪條移民法。
IRPR 205(c)(ii)
工作許可可以簽發給外國人，如果移民部認為這有利於加拿大保持學術或經濟的競爭力，即使對本地就業市場有一定的影響也是有必要的。
A work permit may be issued to a foreign national who intends to perform work that is designated by the Minister as being work that can be performed by a foreign national on the basis that limited access to the Canadian labour market is necessary for reasons of public policy relating to the competitiveness of Canada’s academic institutions or economy.
配偶工簽、畢業後工簽和橋樑工簽等都是這麼定義的，也就是移民法沒有對這些開放式工簽一個清晰的定義。這樣是不是說移民部可以想法就發，想不發就不發呢？
也不是的，移民官還必須遵循相應的操作手冊，在配偶工簽這段，操作手冊就寫的很明確：
Spouses or common-law partners of certain foreign students are allowed to accept employment in the general labour market without the need for an LMIA. This exemption is intended for spouses who are not, themselves, full-time students.
Eligibility
Applicants must provide evidence that they are the spouse or common-law partner of a study permit holder who is a full-time student at
a public post-secondary institution, such as a college, university, or CEGEP in Quebec,
a private post-secondary institution that operates under the same rules and regulations as a public institution and receives at least 50 percent of its financing for its overall operations from government grants (currently, only private college-level educational institutions in Quebec qualify), or
a Canadian private institution authorized by provincial statute to confer degrees.
Spouses or common-law partners of full-time students are eligible for open or open/restricted work permits, depending on whether a medical examination has been passed. There is no need for an offer of employment before issuing a work permit.Validity
Work permits may be issued with a validity date to coincide with the spouse’s study permit.
