| | C permit for family?
Hi,
Suppose I get a C permit because of my job. What will the permit of my wife be? She is a student.

I think that depends where she is from. If she is non-EU probably also a C. If she is EU I believe a B. But how will your job give you a C permit?

You will get a C right off the bat if you are hired in Switzerland as a full professor by either Kantonal or federal universities. There may be other instances as well such as equivalent status in research institutes.
In the case of a professor, your spouse and children (under 18, i think) also get C permits.

Maybe it's another one of those cantonal things.

Suppose I've been here for enough years and fulfilled required step.

Suppose I've been here for enough years and fulfilled required step. | | | | | Because in your OP you said 'supposing I get a C permit because of my job' and the only time when that would be a possibility would be on arrival if your job was one of the ones to get an automatic C permit.
All other C permits are awarded due to length of stay, length of stay plus integration or possibly marriage to a Swiss national.

Suppose I've been here for enough years and fulfilled required step. | | | | | Your phrasing in the first post.  I (and others) interpreted it to mean that you thought it was the job that would get you the permit. It reads like it's a new job and a new permit for you, and as you're a new member we connect the dots based on experience.
Edit - BM types faster. | This user would like to thank 3Wishes for this useful post: | |

| | Re: C permit for family?
Just had a quick read through this thread.
Is my understanding correct, only the parent who is earning in the family needs the language requirements?
Reason I ask is that my wife and I both recently did the B2 exam. We don't have the results yet but I am reasonably confident I passed. My wife not so.
Therefore, our current thinking is that me and the kids can get our C permit and my wife will have to wait until she has her language cert...

Also I note I need some kind of confirmation from the school for the kids....not sure what that is tho, I'll give the migration office a call tomorrow.

"The canton of Zug requires the language level A2 for written skills and the level B1 for verbal skills."

Also, that document is slightly out of date. ZG language requirements are even lower now....something like A2 for verbal and A1 for written.
