Any update guys for those with approved Student Permit about your spouse's open work permit?

FWIW, I saw this post suggesting we can go on visitor visa and await decision there; what do you think?
I heard from some people in this forum that they don't even let the people with visitor visa to board on the plane! Either you should hold OWP or travel excemption letter. The second problem is applying for OWP from inside Canada which the process is more frustrating than what we are experiencing now.

thanks for the reply. it looks like indeed new ones are getting processed normally. there's news about a new COVID-19 strain from UK though; i wish this does not affect your travel. kind regards.

Maybe since you are UK national that played a prominent role to get the processing quickly.

My college does not offer my course on September 2021 so I applied for another college which offers same course on May 2021. This is so frustrating as we planned everything since 6 month ago.
