My spouse has 2 study permit refusal in 2019 and in 2020 he also got SOWP refusal.

I have been approved for May intake 2020 in february and i defer to September 2020 and I am still here in india.

We applied for sowp in march and yesterday we got refusal on the following grounds:

You have been unable to adequately demonstrate that you meet the requirements of a
spousal open work permit under section 205(c)(ii) of the Regulations.


Though I know sowp is not guaranteed but may I know what other alternative is there if my spouse want to travel with me.

Should we go for VISITOR VISA next time or we should apply same SOWP only

Please help If anyone knows about this

Thank you.

Probably you need to wait until you get the study permit in hand? Sounds like there were missing documents, did it not require SP in required documents to upload?

There were list of following

1. Work permit application form
2. Family information form
3. Passport
4. Digital photo
5.Upfront medical
6.Proof of relationship
7.Proof of finance
8.TRV form
9.Client information

And I uploaded documents for SOWP

My study visa
My POE letter
Offer letter
Tuition fee receipt
GIC Copy
My Passport

And my spouse documents as follows
SOP
Passport
Digital photo
All forms like work permit , family info and TRV.
Spouse education degree
Marriage certificate

I did not uploaded my study permit as I am currently here in india only and I deferred my program from may to September intake and will be going to canada if flights start operation from india.

So according to you Andy idea why they refused with this reason :

You have been unable to adequately demonstrate that you meet the requirements of a
spousal open work permit under section 205(c)(ii) of the Regulations.

Should my spouse apply for visitor visa next time or he should apply work permit only for reconsideration?

Please give advice/suggestions.

Also is SOWP also called as dependent visa or which visa called as dependent visa?

Your spouse did not meet the requirements of the sowp. Simple as that.

You need the study permit to apply for SOWP based on study permit.
Cant I apply with the study permit approval letter ?

Study permit has been approved it's just about issuing now which we get on airport so I thought study permit and its approval letter work as a same

You need a study permit to apply for a sowp. No, your study permit is approved AT THE BORDER.

Do we also need anything else other than study permit in order to apply for SOWP ?

Like student Id or something else?

Also if we apply for Spouse visitor visa then also do we need study permit for applying or we can apply spouse visitor visa without study permit as well?
