Please help.... We as a family are applying for study permit for me and for my husband open work permit (OPW) and TRV for us 2 and for our 4 year old son. Question is: If I get Pregnant after I join the university in Canada, Can I take couple of months off. I heard I can take one semester off i.e. 4 months in 1 year but if my pregancy does not go well can I take more than 4 months off and submit a letter from Doctor. Reason is that I want to know if in this case my study permit will be invalid and there by OWP of my husband also invalid?
Seniors, Leon, PMM please help me here. Many thanks!

Seniors, Leon, PMM please help me here. Many thanks!
Looks very complex issue. I hope seniors will share something.

But I would like to say something. I think now its "almost impossible" to get Open Work Permit on the basis of Spouse study permit. We have atleast two such example over here where they get rejected for OWP on the basis of study permit. You can even read those two threads (both answered by Leon and PMM)


well, I am not an expert (just a student), may be I am wrong !

Yes, here it is. I am sending you one link, just scroll down this page, you will find "another link" which is a second thread.


http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/open-work-permit-for-a-spouse-of-postgraduation-work-permit-holder-t81534.0.html


and If you want you can also send one personal message to Leon and PMM. Well, if are looking for a "long reply" thn Leon is the best one. PMM is very short in his reply, may be he will write only Yes or No.

@Enfield if i am not mistaken, in the previous cases the open work permit was not given to spouses of PGWP applicants and not student permit applicants. I too have applied for a student permit and my spouse plans to come on open work permit so i am following this thread quite carefully.
@ONS I think you should call up the call centre of CIC and put forward your query and also check with your college/university international students help centre and find out how long a break you can take for pregnancy. :)
Good luck!

hi,

Yes you are right, PGWP and Student Permit applicant are two different thing. But the logic behind it might be the same. And also I know one more case here where one Indian Couple got rejected for Student cum OWP visa, but I must clarify that their rejection was in addition to study mismatch issue

I repeat, as I said earlier that I am not an expert, just a student so chances do exist that I may be wrong with my presumptions. So its better to get clarify from CIC.


thanks.
