Hi Guys,
I have a realy URGENT question to ask. I am on my post graduate work permit after having finished 2 yr PG certificate in Toronto. I had applied for my spouses work extension application - Brigding WORK permit on the basis of our PR file (FSW Dec application - CIC received MR by july end - mid august) in which I am the Principal applicant.
We have just received the below from CIC on his work permit and my questions are:
Is the secondary applicant not elidgble for Bridging work permit
How long can my spouse stay in Canada given that we wish to re apply
Can he work .. because he is currently employed with a bank.
Is there any way out assuming that I do not get a job under NOC code 0,A or B as per requirement.
Based on your application and accompanying documentation that you have provided, I have
carefully considered all information and I am not satisfied that you meet the requirements of the
Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and Regulations. Your application as requested is
therefore refused.
You have failed to meet the eligibility requirements for a bridging open Work Permit because
you are not the principal applicant of the FSWC application. For further details on eligibility
requirements please see our website at
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/permit/extend/permanent.asp.
[X] After considering all the circumstances of your case, it has been determined that you are not a person whose employment will create or maintain significant employment, benefits or opportunities for Canadian citizens or permanent residents. As the spouse of a holder of a Post Graduate work permit, you have not provided sufficient evidence to prove that your spouse is employed in an occupation that falls within the National Occupation Classification Skill level of 0, A or B. You may be eligible to re-apply for a work permit if you are able to provide proof that your spouse is a skilled worker in Canada, which may include a letter from your spouse’s employer, stating his/her job title, duties, and salary. If you cannot prove that your spouse is in a skilled occupation, your application for a work permit you cannot be approved without a Labour Market Impact Assessment from Employment and Social Development Canada.
[X] We also wish to advise you that your temporary resident status expired on November 3rd,
2015.
You may apply for restoration if, within 90 days from the expiry of your temporary resident status
you submit:
a completed application form;
applicable fees for restoration and for the immigration document(s) in the amount of
$455.00. Payments should be made online at www.cic.gc.ca. When
you are finished, you must print the receipt of payment and include it with your
application.
all required documents in support of your application.
Please consult the section “Restoration of status” in the application guide: “Applying to change conditions or extend your stay in Canada”. Restoration applies to each member who has lost his or her status. Please note that there is no guarantee your application will be accepted. Should you choose not to apply for restoration of your status, you will remain a person without legal Temporary Resident Status and as such will be required to leave Canada immediately. If you do not leave Canada voluntarily, enforcement action may be taken against you.
When should I contact CIC?
You must notify Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) of any changes to your application.
Examples of changes include:
Changes in your personal circumstances, such as birth or adoption of a child, death of a
family member, a marriage or a divorce;
Change of contact information (e-mail, mailing address, telephone number);
Appointment or change of immigration representative or designated individual;
Decision to withdraw your application.
