Hi Everyone, my wife completed her studies and applied for PGWP (now on implied status) on 15-May-2020. Later she got a Job in NOC type A. Now she has 3 payslips. Both of our visas expire on 30-July-2020.

1- While applying extension for myself, what document should I upload under "Family member Proof of Status"?
2- Do I need to submit my offer letter and payslips as well?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I have completed my study and my study permit and my husband’s open work permit is valid up-to 30 November 2020. I know that I can’t work when I got my final transcripts. But I dont know that my husband can work until 30 November or not?

Hello. I just completed my graduation and still have student visa until March 2021, my wife has an open work permit visa same time duration. If I only apply for PGWP without 3 payslips my wife's open work permit will automatically transfer to a visiting visa or remain open work permit until March 2021.

Hi, your wife's OWP will not be effected by your PGWP application. It will remain valid till it expires. Please note that once you apply for your PGWP and the moment they approve it your countdown starts. So I suggest you apply for your PGWP once you have a job offer as your status is valid till March 2021. Once you have a job offer, put in your PGWP application and the next day you can officially start work.

Hi everyone,

I really need help with my situation:
a. I've applied for my PGWP last May and haven't got the approval from IRCC yet and the OWP visa of my partner and TRV of my daughter arrived last week of September with an expiry of Nov 30 because my student permit that will expire on that date as well. They will be coming here to Canada within this month before October 30. Will it best that we apply for the change of status of my partner's visa from OWP to visitor record and also a visitor record for my daughter? (it also stated in IRCC's website that it is best to submit an application for extension/change of status at least 30 days prior to the expiry of the permit.)

b. Also, if we change the status, can I provide a copy of the letter from IRCC which states that I have already submitted my application for PGWP last May and is waiting for their approval and on implied status?

Suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Your spouse must have a NOC A, B, or 0 job and 3 pay slips for you to apply for a work permit. If he doesn't have that by the time your permit is going to expire, you will need to apply to change your status to visitor.

Hi Everyone,
I know I have to provide a employment letter in NOC 0, A, or B and some pay slips, in order to extend my husband's spousal open work permit. I was wondering if there is any condition regarding the employer I work for. for example, the number of employees that work there, or how old the business is, etc. would it be a problem if it is a newly founded company? like a start up?
I have a gone through Canada.ca website, but still cant find an answer.

Thank you in advance :)

As long as the company is a legal entity in Canada and has proper business registration and all you're good to go. All you need is a letter that mentions your role and job responsibilities with 3 recent payslips.
