Hey kunal,

There is nothing we can do if the Local MP already told you that there is additional review required on your file. Only thing we can do is just wait. I hope you will get the final decision as soon as possible.

No they didn't ask for any other documents. I went to MP to enquire about what's going on with the application. They contacted the IRCC and they replied back there is additional review required for the application. That's the only help I got from the local MP office.

Dear All,

I have query on Spouse Open work permit. I am an Indian citizen and have applied for Canadian WP and expecting to get my and family TRV stamped in next few days. I will travel first and then my family will accompany me in next few days (spouse and kid)

My spouse is also working and she is looking for opportunity within her organization. Now my question is, can i apply for her open work permit while being in India before i travel to Canada. If this is possible then i assume that she will get her OWP when she reach Canada. Also i think after OWP approval i dont have to send her passport again to embassy since Visitor visa is already there. And would she be able to continue with her existing organization on similar OPW. Whats the duration for getting OWP approval considering that she already had her Visitor Visa.

Regards
Shailesh Keska
Hi Shailesh,

I have a similar situation. I would be travelling on Canadian WP and my spouse & kid on TRV. Spouse wants to continue working from home (while in canada). My question is - Does she need an open work permit? If yes, what is the timeline provided she has the Visitor visa already stamped. I have heard that OWP can be requested at the port of entry and issued within few hours. Is it true?

Regards,
Mahesh

we applied online on 9th july and my spouse got medical request. so what we need to do next? Please advice.. just go for medical exam at nearest panel medical officer and they will report to cic ? or we need to upload and send that confirmation of medical report to CIC? I guess we dont need to upload or send any confirmation I think.. if I am not wrong then we just have to go for medical and they report it to CIC. but I am just making sure .

YES, ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS GO SEE A DOCTOR FOR MEDICAL EXAM AND THEY WILL DO IT BY THEIR OWN. THANKS
