Hello there,

Yes, once you are married, your husband can apply spouse visa program that come with work permit. My husband applied once he married with me 4 years ago and now we just renewed it once it is expired. You could visit the website http://hutzenterprise.webstarts.com to have some basic info on type of visa or co-operations that you could apply

All the best

Hi above is incorrect as spouses no longer need a "work permit" as they did four years ago. Now it is the LTSVP issues to spouses and that can be used to work with (paper work still needs to be done but no expat requirements like 5k min salary etc). Unfortunately most employers haven't heard of this! So good luck
