Hello,
I am a Canadian citizen that has been living outside of Canada (Poland) for about 12 years and have gotten married and had a child (now 5 years old) in the meantime. My family and I would like to emigrate to Canada and I would like to sponsor my wife from outside of Canada, which I read is possible. However, I wanted to know if my wife can work upon arrival in Canada? I know that I must confirm that I can support them for some time but if my wife chooses to, can she go to work once we arrive in Canada?
Would be grateful for a reply as I cannot find this information anywhere.

1. If she "lands" in Canada as a Permanent Resident, then she only have to go to Service Canada to get a SIN and she can start work immediately.
