    Spousal Open Work Permit - Spouse of skilled worker of the 2 year ICE working holiday program.

    I can also offer to support her when it comes to accommodation, right? The program is childcare and at pacific link college, burnaby. It is 7 months actually and then 5 months training. https://www.plvan.com/current-courses/canadian-workplace-skills/cws-childcare-and-language-assistant-coop/

    Spousal Open Work Permit - Spouse of skilled worker of the 2 year ICE working holiday program.

    Fantastic. In your experience, if she shows around 10k cad in her bank statement for living expenses, will this be sufficient? It's listed as the minimum requirement for the IRRCs website.

    Thanks. It's a child care course and she's an au pair currently. Can we apply for the SOWP as planned as well?

    Spousal Open Work Permit - Spouse of skilled worker of the 2 year ICE working holiday program.

    Thanks. Based on all your feedback, we have decided to apply for a study visa for her. It is the safer option. The course will be for 7 months or so. Based on my understanding then, we just need her to have 10k cad (living exp) + tuition fees covered in her own bank account. Then once she is in...

    Yes I understand this is an option. Do you have a view on our best chance of her getting a TRV and what we should do?

    Ok thanks for the info! On balance then do you have a view on whats the best way to proceed here i.e. for her to get a TRV and then for us to secure the SOWP?

    Spousal Open Work Permit - Spouse of skilled worker of the 2 year ICE working holiday program.

    I watched this video (which talks about applying for a spouse visitor visa): It seems straightforward and gives some comfort to me. Do you think its ok to give them a story about our relationship, in particular that we were long distance but that we want to be together which is why we want the...

    Thanks a lot and to Naturgrl too for all this information. We really need to be together. Could you share what you would do in my/our position in order to get the TRV and then subsequent SOWP? I think you both know a lot about our situation now.

    Spousal Open Work Permit - Spouse of skilled worker of the 2 year ICE working holiday program.

    She has family in Thailand, but no job. Her family has a local business which she can work in/say she will inherit. She has just spent 1 year in the USA as an au pair and is returning to Thailand in Jan. What's wrong with the IRCC knowing I have a IEC permit? She does not have enough funds in...

    Spousal Open Work Permit - Spouse of skilled worker of the 2 year ICE working holiday program.

    Thanks a lot for all the information. Have you any tips based on our story to ensure that we she gets the TRV? I have an uncle (surgeon) who lives in Canada who could write a story saying that we are visiting together (as our honeymoon). Does it look bad in her submission for TRV that she is...

    Spousal Open Work Permit - Spouse of skilled worker of the 2 year ICE working holiday program.

    Can I use my funds to support her and as evidence in her TRV submission? The plan is to fly together to Canada, me on my IEC and her on her visitor visa. Then after 1 month of me working (?), apply for the SOWP. If we do this all validly, is could take 5 months to get after we arrive in Canada...

    Spousal Open Work Permit - Spouse of skilled worker of the 2 year ICE working holiday program.

    Thanks a lot. As for the SOWP plan that we have, do you have any suggestions based on your knowledge? It seems like this could still be a long process. Are 3 paystubs really necessary? Or is one enough? Does that mean I need to be working for 3 months before we can apply?

    Spousal Open Work Permit - Spouse of skilled worker of the 2 year ICE working holiday program.

    She can share my bank statement? She is from Thailand yes. She will stay with me when I'm in Canada. I have an approved IEC. He reason to visit is to be with me. I plan to get the job while outside by doing online interviews, then move and start the job. Once I get the first payslip then we...

    Spousal Open Work Permit - Spouse of skilled worker of the 2 year ICE working holiday program.

    No we haven't applied for her TRV yet. Our plan is to go to Canada in July 2023 and as far as I'm aware it takes about 2 months to get this visitor visa processed? We will apply for her visitor visa in Thailand. Another question if I may: can she work in Canada while waiting on the decision...

    Is family present really mandatory/expected? I mean I thought you just had to prove the relationship was genuine? There are valid reasons why we would not have our families there.

    Spousal Open Work Permit - Spouse of skilled worker of the 2 year ICE working holiday program.

    We are going back to Thailand for 5 months at the start of the year to get married and spend time together on honeymoon, meeting her family etc. The plan is for her to come with me to Canada on a visitor visa and then apply for a SOWP when in Canada and once I have work. Is this a solid plan...

    https://pvtistes.net/en/canada-spouse-common-law-partner-open-work-permit/ My understanding based on above link is that because I am on the IEC holiday work permit, my gf(spouse to be) cannot apply until I am working and have received my first pay slip? I haven't yet secured a skilled job...
