    BOWP flagpole for spouse?

    Hello, Anycec! well, in my case I used the IMM5710E, but I'm not sure this would apply to your case, because we don not have BWP, or PR. This was actually the form the CIC instructed me to use when applying online. When I applied, my husband was applying to anything either, so what I did was: I...

    Thank you again, Juju. My husband is an international student (he is going to graduate by the end of August). I entered as a visitor, and from within Canada applied for an open work permit as spouse of an international student. Reading your post (the categories eligible for bridging work...

    BOWP flagpole for spouse?

    Wow, that's great to know! Just a quick question... did you go with your spouse flagpoling? Because my husband is the one with the study permit, and he'll be in class, so I'll have to go alone, with all our documents (his and mine). So I was wondering if maybe they would like to talk to him as...

    BOWP flagpole for spouse?

    Yeah, I feel you! It's unsettling to know there are different understandings of the same situation. I'm still doing research on the whole flagpoling thing, and I was taking a look at the links jes_ON posted. They were really useful, but I couldn't find anything about WP for spouses. My case is...

    BOWP flagpole for spouse?

    Anyone, about flagpoling, please? My husband's documents are all ok - I'm the one applying - , so I'm also thinking if it would be a good ideia for him to come with me (to the US booth, or just wait for me at the Canadian side), even if he's not the one flagpoling? Taking his documents (study...

    BOWP flagpole for spouse?

    What I found out about coming from a country that requires TRV is that there are situations where your are eligible (Regulation 190 (3)(f)(i) and (ii)). I really think it depends on each case, that's why is so hard to find a specific situation that is exactly like the one we need.

    Hello, Lammawitch. Thank you for your reply. I wanted to apply with my brazilian passport because even though I have an italian citizenship, I'm brazilian and this is my primary citizenship. Also, when I lived here in 2014, I came as a brazilian. And I know it doesn't show on the marriage...
