Hi,

I have a regular working contract in Luxembourg (more precisely it is a 2-year research contract with Univ. of Luxembourg funded by FNR (Fonds National de la Recherche, Luxembourg)).

Q: Can my spouse get a work permit and apply for work while we are there as a normal citizen of Luxembourg?

Who could I call to verify this (consulates in Canada don't seem to respond to my requests). Could I call some telephone in Luxembourg regarding this?

Thank you
J

Hi Johnathan,

Have you actually phoned the Luxembourg Consulate in Canada, or just sent an e-mail/website "contact us"?

If their Consulate is anything at all like our Canadian Consulates abroad they are swamped with messages and take forever to reply.

I know when I send e-mails to the various Canadian Consulates here in Brazil it takes a long while to get a reply. When I need something more urgently I phone and can always get a quick answer to my questions.

If you haven't tried phoning them I would really suggest it.

Cheers,

Thanks for the replies. I am just amazed that it doesn't seem possible for a spouse of a worker in Luxembourg to get a work permit.

Is that possible?
