As a student of Postgraduate diploma in AI and Financial Analyst at one of the universities in Ontario Canada, and the course is for about 18 months. Can I sponsor my wife to unite or join me here, and if she comes, would she be entitled to work while I study? Please I need help in this regards.
Thank you
