Hi Everyone,

I am Full-Time International Student in Canada. I am planning to apply online Open Work permit for my spouse.

Can you suggest me about Invitation and Explanation Letter that are required to upload while doing an online application?

I have someone's application as a reference and he mentioned something about the law on his Invitation Letter.
I need a suggestion that the something like below should be on the Invitation letter or it does not matter.

" “I am thankful to the Canadian Government for having a law which enables married couples to live their lives together under the Regulation 205(c) (ii) of IRPA and Exemption C42 relating to Spouses or common-law partners of foreign students”

Thanks.

Hi Everyone

I have just completed my studies in Canada. I am going to apply for my PGWP as i got a job also in same field of studies but I am married, so I am thinking to apply for my wife's Visitor visa with it also. Is it good idea or not?

I have already applied for her Visitor visa twice but rejected. Reasons were family ties in country of residance and in Canada, and Purpose of visit, only 2 reasons.

Please Advise that is it good that if i file for her visit visa with my PGWP application at the same time.

Thank You

Hi guys,
I have applied for Spouse open work permit on July 15th online and She also did her medical on Aug 12th and also we uploaded the medical in IRCC Webform and I am guessing our visa office is New Delhi since then there is no update at all not even her medical is not updated in the application area. I hope to hear suggestion from seniors in this group.:)

You can send an inquiry using the webform, but they won't reply if the application is still under processing time. It is really frustrating, but waiting is all we can do.

Go for SWOP. Since your wife is a student you will have to show enough funds and make sure that her study permit is not expiring anytime soon. Calculate the processing time and what her status will be by end of the process time. They can reject your visa if her study permit is expiring by the time your SOWP is processed. There is really good info in this thread, go back to 2015 applications and read all the comments, you will find valuable info.
