Spouse Open Work permit
- Thread starter ashub
- Start date
Hi ,
I need your advice please.
my husband is a chef working NOC B in Canada.
I applied for a SOWP on first week of December online using a paid representative. I submit my husband's offer letter and employment verification and Copy of LMIA.
His NOC code is not mentioned in his offer and employment verification letter. But job and responsibilities are mentioned. But in LMIA his NOC code is mentioned. I also attatched his resume clearly mentioning NOC code. Also lawyer has mentioned my husband NOC code in his letter too. Will that be enough for positive reply.
Really appreciate your reply.thanks
More than enough!
Cheers! If your husband has a Provincial Nomination, just provide that to CIC and thats it! Provincial Nomination has Designation mentioned on it.hey guys my mom is on a employer specific work permit im dependent on her WP can she sponsor my dad for open WP?
Hello Guys
I need your help regarding my spouse's open work permit application.
We signed our marriage contract and took vows over the video conference in August 2016 as I was not able to attend the ceremony due to some commitments here in Canada. She applied for OPW and got refusal saying that she is exculded family member as per section 186 5(c) which states both spouses have to be physically present.
I travelled to Pakistan in August 2017 and we had grand wedding ceremony and reception in our physical presence. However, we did not signed the contract again and marriage certificate was still dated 5 august 2016. She applied again with photos and all the relevent documents along with a letter of support from local MP but got refusal yesterday with the same objection.
What should I do now to satisfy the officer? My marriage is legal according to the law of juridisction where it took place and can not be re done. However, it might be possible to renew the vows and contract and get a new marriage certificate with the dates when I will be physically there again to re sign the contract. Should that be an option to satisfy Visa Officer?
I appreciate your help. Please advice as we both are suffering from depression due to this situation.
Note: we have our permanent residency application in process as well here in canada.
Thanks,

Yea ,, i have applied mpnp pr in 2016 sept i got aor in dec 2016 .. two of my friends got their medical requests last week but i am still waiting.. I don't knw .. i am worried.. i have my work permit till october 2018.. do you think i will get pr before that? I work as a security guard. So this comes under NOC C category..
Hi, anyone who applied on 22 nov or before that is there any updates who applied near to this date..
Generally PR should come within 8-10 months from the date they receive the application.
Thanks Gaurav for your time, couple of clarifications /questions
>> This is what I would suggest, you being in Canada call CIC and ask for guidance. She being in india can call High Comission of Canada New Delhi office and check with them if they can guide somehow (I doubt in india they help will on call).
I'm in India at the moment, Is there any way to call Canada CIC from here?
I will wait till my travel date ie on Feb 2nd Week and if there is still no progress , I will cancel and apply from Canada after landing there.

You can't call CIC Canada helpline from outside Canada. You can ask a relativeor friend in Canada who has 3-way calling and knows how to use it to set you up by calling the CIC number himself and then add you to the call as the 3rd party.
