can you specify what all documents you guys submitted for his open work permit and from which place you applied, if you can shell out more details it would be helpful to others and even we can guide you more...
open work permit usually takes upto a month and a half..
if you share your husbands profile in details as in what all documents he have applied with and what all documents you have send him it will be really helpful, becoz even i have to apply for my husbands open work permit..

i think this is pretty much sufficient..just relax he will get a positive response soon..
do let us know here if his visa is accepted..
btw did he apply for open work permit or spouse open work permit?

 

[manogna]

thanku........yep sure i ll notify here immediately after visa approval but whats the difference between open work permit and spouse open work permit... i think he applied it as my dependent

I applied for an open work permit along with my wife's student visa in march and ours got approved just yesterday but our case was pretty complicated anyway. I think you've submitted sufficient documents, all the best for that.

ummm actually there is no such thing as spouse/dependent ope work permit, you just have open work permit and i guess that's what your husband must have applied for..can you ask him to make sure as even i want to confirm before applying for my husband..
and from which place did he apply?

1. Open WP: You are not bound to work for one employer & you do not need a job offer or positive LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment).
2. Spouse Open WP: Other than 1, its bounded with your SP, valid as long as your SP is valid.
3. There is nothing called a 'dependent visa'. Your spouse has applied for a 'TRV'.

hello manogna,

...just curious, you've been in Canada for 3 months, did you begin your studies already?

 

[manogna]

he applied for spouse open work permit and as you told its valid as long as my SP is valid.

yes i already started my studies and also completed one subject.....

 

[jbrown]

hello again,

well, it seems you've submitted appropriate documents, good luck!

I was only asking because I've seen in other posts that new students to Canada have applied for spousal open work permits for their partners but the student has not even begun their studies. Many of these OWP have been rejected but that is not your case.

 

[momars09]

he applied for spouse open work permit and as you told its valid as long as my SP is valid.

yes i already started my studies and also completed one subject.....

oh okay i never knew there exist a spouse open work permit.. so for this you dont need to apply for a TRV?

Hi,

oh okay i never knew there exist a spouse open work permit.. so for this you dont need to apply for a TRV?

You have two options:

1. Apply for only TRV.
2. Or, apply for SOWP, in this case TRV is a part of the application, you don't have to fill up a separate form.
