[Smurf_Gimli]

Hi,

Is there any update for the written authorization letter from IRCC?

I sent inquiry last month regarding this matter and IRCC replied that starting June 9 Application we/I do not need a authorization letter from IRCC.I am a spouse of Canadian Citizen with Visitor visa from Philippines.

I just want to ask if you guys know any update if this info have changeS.


Thank you for your time.

What update are you referring to or what response are you looking for? In their automated response, they clearly state that spouses of CC/PR do not need a letter of authorization. They also state in which case they will not respond. One of which is if you don't require a letter. However, I think that if you apply for TRV, you could email them to ask to speed up the process. I've read some have done so. It does not mean they will necessarily approve the application, but they will process it promptly.

Hi,

I had requested for authorization letter for my spouse and son for their travel to Canada as I'm on a work permit currently working in Canada.
Today received update saying its rejected and reason mentioned as ' you have not established that your reasons for travelling are non discretionary or non optional'.
I had mentioned the reason as 'family reunite'.
can i submit again with some strong reason? will they consider ?

You can certainly submit again. We are seeing quite a lot of refusals for people in your situation. Does your wife have a TRV or a SOWP? If a TRV, she may want to apply for a SOWP before you try for the authorization letter again.

Thanks scylla.
She is on TRV. Earlier her Open work permit was rejected so we had to apply for the Visitor Visa.
Any idea how much time it will take if we start with SWOP process again in these times ?

Don’t think anyone is aware of what reasons are acceptable reasons for those on a WP or student visa to reunite with family or whether there are any reasons that will be accepted. Given covid numbers Canada is clearly trying to minimize how many people enter the country especially since there have been many cases where people have arrived already infected with covid. Never hurts to try again.

Looking back on your case your initial SOWP may have been denied if you applied soon after marriage and it was an arranged marriage where you hadn‘t spent a lot of time together in person to establish a relationship history.
