    I am sponsoring my spouse for open spouse work permit. But he was refused visit visa to UK in 2017.

    Got work permit and SIN without Brown ID

    If you have received a work permit, go to work and relax. A lot depends on that step. No one knows when the brown paper will come.

    Refugee/Asylum Claimants 2023 Timeline

    The moving will not affect your application. There are other factors (who is actually processing the file, etc) to take into consideration. Do not worry, get on with your life.

    It is an important issue, but nothing stops you from moving. Notify IRCC in a web form of the change of address.
