does your husband have a job offer? If not he miiiight require authorization unless IRCC will release something specific for accompanying spouses tomorrow
The should not be any problem. When you launch your application together, it clearly means that you need support of your spouse. If student is allowed to travel, there is no way ircc Canada will stop spouse to come. It will become ethical issue. Ircc will never issue you ppr until both are not allowed to travel. How can ircc separate a family who applied together? There are thousands of frauds who will send their Wife first for study and then husband will apply visa after for easy entry. Ircc can very well delay spouse visa in this case. However, if applied and got approved together, ircc has no rights to separate one.
I want to believe in that too, since I will super hate to be away from my husband again
Yes, both of you should be allowed; from ircc website -- 'With the amended travel restrictions, immediate family members may be able to accompany an international student to Canada if their reason for travel is non-optional or non-discretionary, such as getting established in Canada in support of the principal applicant’s study program. This could include a spouse or common-law partner, a dependant, or in the case of a minor child who will be studying in Canada, a parent or legal guardian' https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/news/2020/10/update-on-travel-restriction-exemptions-for-international-students.html
People on the forum were super negative about the "may" part, once again, I certainly hope there would be concrete exceptions introduced for spouses since I have also a spouse and want to stay in rented out apartment together
I think this part is intended exactly to show that those with OWPs will be able to travel with their spouses, as they obviously have a purpose to 'support' the international students. The tricky thing here is to actually get those WPs nowPeople on the forum were super negative about the "may" part, once again, I certainly hope there would be concrete exceptions introduced for spouses since I have also a spouse and want to stay in rented out apartment together
Many spouses were denied entry because their travel was viewed as non-discretionary. Canada is trying ro minimize how many people enter the country at the moment. Would really suggest people apply for special authorization to guarantee that there will be no confusion and they know 100% that they can go to Canada.
You should be travelling with or before your spouse since your move to Canada is based on your study permit.Hey guys, does anyone know if a spouse has an OWP and an offer letter, can he travel? I'm the primary applicant with student visa but my university has mentioned that it'll be on DLI list only in November and my spouse has to join in the first week of November!
it's very sad if that is the case. If a family travels where one parent and the kids have a study permit and the officer decides to not allow the other parent on grounds their coming along is non-essential. So separating one parent and expect the others to just kiss good bye and walk out of the airport? That is harsh.
