Hello
Has anyone received their passport stamped and along with that received a letter for “preparing to travel and arriving in Canada” in which it is mentioned you need job offer to show it to airline and at port of entry? Do we need it or just the family reunification exemption is enough ?
If you have the travel exemption then yo don’t need a job offer.

If she can’t travel by the 11th she needs to apply for another travel authorization.

Just a small rants here ....

It’s just barbaric what some of the officers reviewing the authorization requests are thinking, we are talking about spouses, there is no any other time we needed our spouses here than now, we have paid international tuition in d past and we are paying taxes now yet they think our spouses can’t come and join us in this very difficult time but it’s okay for citizens and Pr folks to welcome their extended family members en mass, in fact new international students are allowed to come with their spouse but it’s fine for FTW to live alone without their spouses when it’s clearly stated here https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/service-delivery/coronavirus/temporary-residence/work-permit.html#toc11 that reunification is allowed.

I am going through a lot due to this torture, I had friends that applied after we submitted our own application and they grant some of them authorization and allow their spouses to come but for us, they keep rejecting our authorization and they leave our application untouched for no fault of ours, I mean we didn’t bring Covid-19 to the world, I just don’t get y we deserve this torture , ooh maybe because we choose Canada
Hi friend, even this thread is few months old, I would like to know whether you finally got the written authorization letter. I am in the same situation that you had at that time. My request was denied even I'm having SOWP. Do you have any idea how to get through this? TIA

Hello all,

My spouse has SOWP, and I applied for her; I am waiting for the IRCC response. I want to apply for my minor children. Could someone tell me the process? is it the same, or do I need additional documents as a family representative?

Thank you
