Did the duties listed in the job letter match the NOC?

Your post is confusing.

Your SOWP was rejected? Or was your spouse's SOWP rejected? To get the SOWP approved, the spouse who is on the PGWP must provide proof they have a NOC A/B/0 role and provide three payslips. IRCC doesn't want payslips for the person on the SOWP - they require payslips from the person on the PGWP.

You can try sending a Webform asking for reconsideration. Or apply again.

Hi. Your help is very much valued.

I just received my graduation letter, and I am still looking for a skilled job offer to apply for PGWP. My wife has an OWP until july/20, but it says on Remarks: "ONLY VALID IF SPOUSE IS ENROLLED AS FULL-TIME STUDENT AT DLI"

My questions are:

1- Can she still work?
2 - If yes, how come?
3 - In this case, we can´t apply together, I must get a job and wait for 3 payslips, and then have her apply for an extension, Am I correct?

Thank you very much.

Hi @canuck_in_uk @scylla

Please help.

I know you have answered this question so many time but I need some clarity. A friend of mine is working in NOC B job (part time 20 hrs/week). He wants to apply for pgwp and extend his wife's open work permit. Can he use the job offer letter that he has (says part time) and 3 pay slips to apply for his wife's sowp along with his pgwp application ?

He is confused of he needs full-time employment in NOC o, A , B for his wife to apply. Please advise. There is so much confusion around this.

This is what we found on cic website. This doesn't say anything about full time position.


"If your spouse has an open work permit (e.g. post-graduation work permit), you must attach a copy of your spouse’s work permit to your application for an open work permit, along with:

  • a letter from your spouse’s current employer that confirms they work there in a NOC 0, A or B occupation, or a copy of your spouse’s employment offer or contract, and
  • a copy of your spouse’s recent pay slips"
Thanks

There is no confusion. If full-time was required, it would be stated.

As far as I know, it's up to the community to decide what do they need more. IRCC is just trying to support the small communities with a shortage of labour without turning it into a doormat program. Try checking the participating communities' websites individually.

Hello everyone!

I'd appreciate assistance with the following situation.

I currently have a valid study/work permit that expires in August 1st 2020. Right now I am working as a Co-op student as part of my post graduation program at the college, and my wife has the Open Work Permit valid until August 1st 2020 (same day as mine).

Could somebody help me with some questions below, please?
  • Once I receive the graduation letter from my College, will I need to find a permanent job in the NOC level to extend my wife's Open Work Permit visa?
  • Does it necessarily need to be a permanent role? Can this job opportunity be a contract position?
  • Can I work before applying for the PGWP? Or I should stop working and only get back to work once I apply for the PGWP, since I'd have a tracking process number(or similar)?
  • Can my wife work after I get my PGWP?
I know that I have a lot of questions, but I need to know what steps should I take after I wrap up this Co-op job, and apply for my PGWP...it is quite confusing to me.

Thank you in advance ( :
