    Can spouses with approved OWP travel to Canada with Student during Covid-19 restrictions?

    Sad93, as a visa exempt passport holder your spouse can apply Work Permit at POE. You just need to apply to get a travel exemption for temporary residents for family reunification

    Can spouses with approved OWP travel to Canada with Student during Covid-19 restrictions?

    That is BS..the agent likely has no idea what she is speaking. If this was the rule how can we explain some applicants and their families getting decisions together( SP and SOWP)

    Regarding processing of both SP and SOWP

    Hi All, so I finally received approval with the eTA. However, my wife's SOWP and the kids SP's have not been emailed yet. Is this normal? Do I need to write to IRCC asking them for an update? Classes start Jan 06 2021 and stressing out!
