Spouse(who has a post graduation work permit - PGWP) sponsored work permit

[parjanya]

Hi, I am from India and have applied for an Open Work Permit (OWP) as a dependent of my spouse who has a job there with a PGWP work permit. My online application was rejected due to lack of documents (I just attached a marriage certificate and did not provide proof of current relationship and funds, etc). I applied again on paper because there I could attach all the proofs easily without the size requirements.

When I applied online for the first time, I already gave my biometrics which is supposed to be valid for 10 years. But today I received biometrics instruction letter again for my on paper application. Is this normal? I did not even pay the biometric fees when I paid for the on paper application. Should I go ahead and give my biometrics again at a VAC?

Thanks a lot in advance for any help!

Assume you included the fact that your spouse on a PGWP needs to have a job classified as NOC 0,A or B that will be for at least 6 months for you to get a work permit.

Yup, I did provide her employment letter that included her NOC classification. Though my question is about the "biometrics" as stated in the second paragraph of the question.

You don't need to do biometrics again. Inform the VO you have already done them.

Thanks a lot for the reply. Yes, I too thought I shouldn't have to give it again. But here in India, they don't acknowledge the emails easily so it adds to the confusion
