Hi everyone,

The application for the open work permit clearly states that we need a photocopy of the stamp made by the Canadian official from the most recent trip to Canada. My husband didn't receive a stamp since he's from a visa exempt country. What should we do? TIA!

I would write a letter explaining that your husband didn't receive a stamp, and clearly state the date and location of where he entered Canada. You could also perhaps include photocopies of all pages in his passport to prove that there is in fact no stamp. As long as you acknowledge this so it doesn't look like you've left it out (which looks suspicious!)

Great idea, thank you!
