Hello Folks,
Anyone from India who has submitted Passport via VFS after passport request from CIC?
Could you please let me know how long did it take for you guys to get the stamped passport back? VFS claims 5 business days.
I would like to know if this is true.

Does it need a job offer?
The IMM 1295 under DETAILS OF INTENDED WORK IN CANADA serial 2 requires Details of prospective employer ( attach original offer of employment), a) Name of Employer, b) Complete address of Employer. What should I put there? What about serial 3,4,5?
My wife is a Canadian citizen. Should I apply for SOWP after my wife submits sponsor application for my PR?
Hi everyone,
My wife's SOWP got approved and she will travel from India sometime in June. What documents should she keep with her handy for the immigration when she lands in Toronto? I am assuming her stamped passport and the WP should be enough. Does she need to carry anything else (copy of my WP etc.)?
Thanks

May be a copy of your work permit and also t keep your address and job details like company name and title is more tahn enough! Congratsashpur88 said:
No it does not need a job offer in case of spousal open work permit. You can just mention, "Not Applicable - Spouse dependent work permit" in details of employer fields.lilua said:
However, you are not eligible for SOWP being spouse of a Canadian citizen. You are eligible for PR sponsorship only. The only case in which you could apply for an Open work permit (not dependent on spouse) is that if you apply in land for your PR i.e. you are already in Canada and filed your application for PR inland and while it is in process, you need to continue staying / working in Canada.
Normally SOWP is only for spouse of workers / students who need to come with their family to Canada. Spouse of a citizen or PR should straight forward apply for sponsorship. If that is outland, they have to wait till a decision is made on that.
Hi All,
I need some help. I am a PGWP holder now. However my spouse came to Canada on an Open Work permit, which she got as a dependent on my study permit at that time. I got a job month ago, but I am not able to pin point the NOC code. Now her work permit is going to expire in 6 months. However she got a job offer week ago. Can she now extend her work permit on her own ? (without my job's NOC code).
Thanks in advance for the help.

Nopes - unless her employer files an LMIA for her (or she has a relatively unique job which is LMIA exempt - there aren't many example is a particular university researcher position for a niche area), she cannot get a work permit on her own.gssidhu90 said:
I am not sure why pin pointing a NOC is a big deal assuming your NOC is still skilled and you have a job for that too - both of which are requirements for SOWP.
