Hi to all.

Will I be required to attend any orientation seminar (such as PDOS, etc.) if I have been issued a Spousal Open Work Permit? If yes, where should I register for the said orientation? But if not, will there be any problem in immigration during the departure?

Thanks for your inputs.

I'm having the same dilemma. Yung visa ko is W1 worker visa. Pero wala an ako employer or agency. Yung wife ko nasa canada na and cya yung direct hire sa work. In short Spouse Open Work Permit (SOWP) ako. Kelangan ko pa po ba mag PDOS?

SOWP no need po ng PDOS.

Check this thread for reference Page 583 onwards:
https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/for-pinoys-spousal-open-work-permit-to-canada-share-tayo.70481/page-583

Another suggestion to ensure po is to Call CFO. Nasa site and Contact numbers.

Hello po, Sana po may makasagot sa tanong ko.Kailangna pambang mag PDOS ang asawa ko? She's hodling a W-1 VISA. Ako po yung petitioner nya and wala pa syang employer dito. CFO rejected my registration kasi daw ang inaaccept nila is immigrant VISA lang.

Please sana may makasagot sa tanong ko,
Maraming salamat

Hi po nakalusot po ba kayo sa immigration? Ganyan din kaso ng asawa ko W-1 VISA holder sya Spousal openwork permit. Nireject ng CFO ang registration ko for PDOS kasi Immigrant lang daw ang pwde magpa register. Di na na ba kailangan ng PDOS for SOWP? sana po mabasa nyo tanong ko. Salamat

Ako po under PNP work permit, lmia-exempt. Ongoing na application ko for PR nung umalis ako. As far as i know po, based on my experience hindi na hinanap ng immigration ang pdos at oec..ang oec ay inissue para sa may LMIA at ganun din po ang pdos sa poea kapag may LMIA ka, pag lmia-exempt wala na po. Better call yung immigration airport po s naia. Kasi s poea hindi nila alam lahat, sabi nila s akin noon need ko oec. Ipakita nyo po yung letter na lmia exempted po kau

Hi I would like to ask po, I have the same situation. Did you get your PDOS and OEC? Anu po mga documents needed to present sa immigration here sa pinas? I hope po maka reply po kayo. Thank you
