Can a W1 visa sponsor a spouse
- Thread starter jodicel81

@mandip the visa category that's on my passport is W1 Worker but I applied as a live in carer I am currently in the UK and is a BS in Physical therapy graduate I am aware that the LCP is under the NOC C type though I am still hoping that there is a chance that I could bring my husband with me, is there a chance that he could apply for an open work permit even though I will be working as a live in carer, will the W1 visa category that I have might be valid for my husband to apply for the opw?
We have a similar situation! My husband is currently working under the LCP in Alberta for 7 months now and we are looking into ways we can follow him. Unfortunately, we do not qualify for the Spousal open work permit. The only other option I can think of is the temporary resident visa but I think its harder to get an approval for it. My son and I really want to be with my husband, I hope someone can give us more info about it so that we can be with our loved ones.jodicel81 said:
Hi Denissed,
Yes, applying for TRV is an option. But you have to prove to the VO that you will go home after your authorized stay. You have to give valid, truthful, and sufficient ties from your home country as immigration will know the current status of your spouse.
Good luck.

Hi
An additional problem will be the financing of the trip. Since the spouse is a LIC it is unlikely that his employer would allow the OP and the child to live with them. So CHC would look at where the poster intends to stay and the funds available.

@ denissed I've followed your posts someone adviced me yesterday to looked on it coz we have similar concerns I am a Filipino too but currently residing in the UK I got a visa for Canada and be leaving UK soon. I really don't know much about Canada's immigration and I have no clue how my husband can accompany me there. Is the visa category on your husband's passport is W1 ? I've also read u called up the CEM and said u can apply for an SOWP what happened to that?denissed said:

I wont be applying for SOWP anymore.
Yup, I called them 4x then they all said I can apply for it so I started gathering the required documents. I decided to call for the 5th time and I also sent an email about my concern so I can attach their reply with my cover letter (I was thinking it would not be a ground for disapproval since I was just confirming the info that the CEM gave me). But according to the email only those profession under the NOC 0, A and B are eligible to apply and since caregivers are under NOC C, I am not qualified. I was really shocked and was really disheartened with their reply. They are not consistent with the info they're giving out! The visa category is also the same for my husband, W1. I really dont know what to do next
