If you are applying for a spousal OWP, I'm very positive you don't need to include your wife's employment letter. Those seem to be needed if you are the spouse or common law partner of a temporary resident with an open work permit. IE, we're all married/partnered to PRs or citizens, so we would not need to provide anything for them.I tried I am unable to link
One of my friends OWP application was returned as he did not include his wife's employment letter.
I have included the employment letter of my wife in PR application not in OWP. How about everyone here?
The only documents I provided (which were already provided in the PR app) were:
1. Passport
2. Photocopy of my current OWP (should be whatever your status document is; visitor visa, stamped passport, whatever)
3. Photocopy of our marriage certificate
Was your friend applying for an inland spousal OWP?
Thanks for the response. That is making me feel good.
That's not inland sponsorship. He is in his country.
Hi,
I was trying to link my OWP, but could not so far. Those who have linked, could you please help?
Which Situation Applies to the Applicant: Spouse or Common-in-law partner of a skilled worker or Applied for permanent residence as a spouse or common-law partner in Canada. Which one I should choose? and please share the combination that worked.

No group for October Inland Applications yet, so thought I'd join this one!
PR/OWP Application sent: October 11
Wait on AOR..
My husband is applying inland just as visitor from US, but every time he was re-entering would say he's visiting me.. always went back every couple months to visit family so was never an issue of staying more than 6 months. Last time he re-entered was October 9..
Now that application is in, is there any possibility for us to travel to US and back? We'd wait until OWP was processed, but even then, are there issues re-entering/is it worth the risk?
If anyone has any input at all that would be extremely helpful! I'm pregnant and due in March so super nervous about him leaving and potentialy not being able to re-enter!

Use "Applied for permanent residence as a spouse or common-law partner in Canada".
This is what worked for me:
Program
- Category: Temporary Residence
- Sub Category: Work Permit and Extension
- Selection: UCI and Family Name
- UCI: Your (Primary Applicant's) UCI (This is the UCI that was used for your Visitor Visa, NOT the new UCI that you received for the Sponsorship Application)
- Family Name: Fill in your (Principal Applicant's) last name (Some recommend that you use the same case as you typed it in the application i.e. UPPERCASE or Lowercase)
- Selection: Passport - Fill in your (Principal Applicant's) passport details.
- Work Permit Type: Open (initial application or extension)
- Current Country of Residence: Canada (as you are an Inland applicant)
- Current Marital Status: Married / Common Law (as you are applying for spousal sponsorship
- Which Situation Applies to the Applicant: Applied for permanent residence as a spouse or common-law partner in Canada.
I'm rooting for you, because your application is what I'm using to track timelines for us September folk.
All the best.
In the search bar enter "Inland Spousal Sponsorship leaving Canada". You'll find a lot of threads dealing with this topic. In a nutshell though, there is nothing inherently wrong with leaving for a 'short' time. It's just that there is no guarantee that you'd be let back in, but one can assume you would be - especially if you're travelling with your spouse. That said, I personally have opted not to take the chance. This is so even though my Visitor Visa expires in 9 years.
Basically you need to do a risk assessment - pros and cons. Determine whether the benefits (or necessity) of the trip outweigh the probability of the risk.
Btw, if you haven't already, please feel free to enter you details on the Inland OCT tab of the spreadsheet at:

I haven't even seen any early September applicants get OWP. A few of us have merely been able to link the application (as you can see on the spreadsheet). September OWP should be soon though. A few 28th August folks got their approved OWP last week on the 6th and 7th November.
