I guess? We went to the US for our honeymoon (before submitting the PR) and there were no problems coming back to Canada. Anyway, now the situation is the following. Her OWP was approved, and they also gave her an eTA..... even though her country is not eligible for eTA? Not sure what's...

We included ours even though it was an electronic invite as well.

March 2022?

Open Work Permit approved today!! It had been sent on April 4th - took 127 days in total. My wife had a student permit that was expiring in August so this is very timely! Also RAMQ confirmed she will get her card for medicare for September 1 :)
