Spouse Open Work Permit after TRV Rejection

[jannat786]

hello!
So my case is a bit messy. I had previously applied for a TRV twice and got rejected both times and it was just to meet with my family there and for a small vacation since I haven’t been on a vacation for a while now. I tried twice and then let it be because I didn’t want to waste any more time and money applying and I was getting back to studying for my professional degree.
Now the problem is, I’m south Asian and we usually have arranged marriages so a few months after I had applied for my TRVs I got married, my husband works in Canada and we want to apply for my SOWP and I was just wondering if my previous rejections will have negative impacts on my SOWP? I don’t mind attaching our wedding and casual pictures and and conversation histories. Should I provide an explanation on the cover letter?
Thanks!

When did you get married ?

When did you get married ?

I got married on the 23rd of December, the last time I applied was somewhere around August or September I guess

Getting married earlier or even weeks before applying is not a problem. You just have to prove your marriage is real.

I don’t mind proving my marriage is real. I have photographs and chat and call histories. My only concern is that my previous TRV refusals don’t impact my SOWP.

Yes - it's possible your previous TRV refusals may impact the SOWP application. As with the TRV application, to be approved for the SOWP, you will need to demonstrate ties to your home country, etc. You will want to make sure you show proof of ties such as property, employment, assets - you will also need to ensure you declare your previous two TRV refusals (and any refusals to other countries, of course).
