The company hiring your husband should also apply for either:dependant visas for spouse and children oran open work permit for spouse and dependant visas for children.Coincidentally, when the company applied for my work permit, they got an open work permit for my wife but nothing for our two kids. We had to request that they take responsibility for getting them the appropriate visas, which they did.When you land here, you will each be given a travellers record that details the conditions and duration of your stay.Welcome to Canada.
