Okay thanks for thé link, spouse can travel because of the following without a authorization letter if they have a letter of introduction for an open work permit.

per instructions in link you sent:

Your immediate family members may be able to come with you to Canada. They can travel to Canada if they meet one of the conditions below:

  • they’re travelling directly from the U.S. for a non-discretionary purpose
  • they have a written authorization from IRCC to reunite with a temporary resident of Canada (see Uniting with immediate family members for more information)
  • they have a letter of introduction for an open work permit

Could you pl tell me what is a letter of introduction ? My spouse is non-accompanying and we have applied for PR, and has a valid open work permit and visitor visa.

Did your spouse travel successfully with you without authorization?

We are both in the same boat , I have also applied twice and it was refused both times and the SOWP submitted isn’t processed further after medical was passed. Our Pr is on hold as well because my spouse is not in Canada even though we’ve passed eligibility, criminality and security , I sent an email for travel exemption again last week hoping to get a positive this time

Hi, I didn't quiet understand why would IRCC reject your spouse inquiry to reunite with you in canada. did they reject her inquiry or did they ignore the email sent to IRCC? thanks

Hi all!
I'm outland dependant of spouse who's residing at Canada, we sent out an email for travel exemption on 23rd Dec 2020 for TRV which is in progress since Aug 2020. Haven't got any mail/ update on profile yet.
I've mentioned travel end dates and dual intent as we have also filed for PR. Has anyone mentioned these in the email sent?
I read an article on CIC news saying visiting Spouse for a stipulated time is not non-discretionary. Kind of worried about the same.

I did not mention the PR application in the email. I mentioned the PR application at the border. I think it is of great importance to have genuine intention and documents to support the non-discretionary travel purpose. I am lucky that I still have a valid TRV, which saved me a lot of time. Good luck. Nowadays we do need much more patience when dealing with all sorts of applications. The timeline IRCC shared was only for reference, not accurate at all.

I applied early December. Still didn’t receive any response. They say it depends on the content of the email, what did you mention in the email? Thanks
