You must apply for a Spousal visa for her.

Well I have an unskilled workers visa for Canada.

I think the spousal visa requires the work permit holder to have a skilled job from the National occupation list. I do not qualify for that. Thats why i need to know if there is another visa i can apply for to take my spouse with me so we can live together.
