Hello Everyone,

I have a question regarding spousal open work permit.

I have a valid PGWP till October 2019 and I'm currently employed in a NOC A category. I am currently working as a Process Engineer for 2 months now. I want to apply for my spouse open work permit given that I meet minimum conditions that are outlined by CIC. I want to ask that what are the chances of my spouse work permit getting accepted based on information I have provided? Also what additional documents would I require to submit a strong application. Do My wife wants to come work and experience the culture of this country temporarily and will be returning back to her home country prior to her work permit expirt but what type of documentation would be required to proof this? I just want to be thorough before I apply. Any suggestions, advices and information is highly welcomed and appreciated. Thank you!!

Regards,

Hi Dhirendra,
Sure.

List of Supporting Documents for Application:
1. Support letter
2. Passport copy with all the used pages
3. Study permit
4. CRA tax receipts along with T4/T4A
5. Pay stubs from University
6. Bank account statements showing proof of funds in Canada
7. Bank account statements of spouse in India
8. Pay stubs of spouse in India
9. Support letter from parents and in-laws
10. Financial account statements from parents and in-laws
11. Property valuation documents (if any property available)
12. Proof of wedding (marriage invitation, photos etc)


List of documents for online application:

1. Application form
2. Family details form
3. Passport
4. Proof of medicals Medicals


This is all I could think of at this moment. The list of supporting documents were all attached as a single pdf file containing over 80 pages. I spent almost 4 sleepless nights trying to compress the file without losing any details. I was so stupid that I had butter in my hands and was looking for ghee elsewhere lol..... Easiest way to compress would be to use MS-Word.

Hope it helps. Good luck

timeline depends on the country you are applying from. so check the processing times for your country on the CIC website.

Documents are a lot and since we applied together in one envelope, its hard to split them. its everything you will need for a study permit and more. below is what i remember;

proof of funds
offer and acceptance letter
proof of registration for semester(timetable etc)
proof of accommodation(in Canada)
SOP by my self (study permit)
SOP by spouse (OWP )
explanation letter by me(why i need spouse and toddler with me)
employment letter from spouse employer
marriage certificate
pictures from all vacations(to prove we travel together)
proof of education/ qualifications(self and spouse)
proof of ties at home
