Spouse Open Work permit

[sababx]

As far I know you meant to send just one

But every time I attached additional documents. I do not think there is a limit to it if you are providing necessary documents.

The time will depend on which country you are from. I found people over her waiting for months, even I myself waiting for last 16 weeks.

16 weeks? Wow. I would be on my 14th next week. Hopes are fading away slowly to be honest.

Please don't attach extra documents after you already applied because this will extend your processing time..

But I missed out on few documents like my own passport, pcc for my spouse and some extra wedding pictures. Those were necessary files

Sorry man. It's been 108 days for me for a reply. I just found one improvement on CIC status check " we are doing your background check". Dropped web form two weeks ago and still waiting...

That is the only background check they did?

Same here. Hopes fading away.

Who knows man. It's like as if they tell us what are they doing, they leave us hanging by the thread for months after months. If they want to say know then just say it so my wife can come back as it's difficult for her to be there by herself.

Hello,

I went through the thread and found many people are waiting for a visa for more than 2 months, so I was thinking to apply for a visitor visa to my spouse while work permit is being processed. Can anyone help me here to know if it is safe todo so?

Also, work permit is applied outland and if my spouse moves to canada on a visitor visa and can I get the TRV changed to "worker" from Canada with same application?

Thank you in advance.

Hi, if I am not wrong, you are planning to apply for a visitors visa while an application for work permit for same person is still in process.
If this is the condition. you are not supposed to submit multiple application at same time. If done so, there are chances both will get refused.

2ndly, yeah you can apply for a change in stay inside Canada if your spouse is here on visitors visa and you qualify for same, but if you are planning to apply for a visitors visa at this time, there are great chances it will be refused. Success rate for visitors visa while having spouse already present in Canada is really very low. They refuse it on ground that they are not convinced applicant will leave Canada. So its better you stick with your current application and wait for reply from cic.

Thank you very much for the detailed explanation. And it makes sense not to apply another visa (which also a temporary resident).

Congrats!! Was that a paper application or online? I didn't do medicals before applying the application, now the application is in process and i have not received any medical request. Can i do it now and upload the document or do i need to wait for medical request from CIC ?

Thank you in advance.
