Hi, I would like your comments on this. I ve applied for Spousal Open work permit from India by July'17. My spouse is in Canada on Post Graduate work permit that expires in 2020. I was working and I resigned in Jan'17 and haven't been doing anything since then.so I was a homemaker when I applied for the visa. Does it reduce my chances of visa approval? But I ve shown enough funds in my Indian account despite my husband's salary being more than sufficient to sponsor me. Looking forward for your views.

It won't affect with your current job status. It all will depends on your husband's job and salary. So no need to worry about that.

Hi. Thank you for your question. For SWOP visa, your spouse who is residing in Canada right now needs to qualify with the level of job he has. It does not have any impact on your job or your studies.

Hey everyone

I probably have one final question.

Final decision said approved on the 30th of August and passport was sent on the same day. My Cic says the application has been approved as of yesterday with a valid document no as well. Now, will my wife get any confirmation letter in my Cic or will she get it when she gets her passport back? Let me know please.

thank you

Thanks for your reply... What led me to this confusion was I heard from someone that if the primary applicant doesn't hold a job , then the VO may consider that the applicant is unstable and the chances for not leaving Canada after the entended stay is higher..
U ve given me some hope.. thank you so much

No problem. For example, during the time of my application, my wife just finished school and was working part time. She left it during the application processing time but then again it does not matter at all.
