Hello rackyy55, If you applied to the CEC program, your spouse would be eligible for a SOWP based on your closed Work Permit as long as your job is in a Skill Level 0, A or B. If granted, her SOWP will have the same duration as yours. Check out the cic website and in the Help Centre search...

Thanks PMM, I appreciate your response.

hi aquilla, Since you will be dealing with CBSA when you land in Canada, their website may help you. http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/menu-eng.html

Hi there, these questions came from a friend but I'm not sure of the answer, hopefully you'll be able to help. Thanks in advanced! Joe is applying for PR alone, his 3 year old son is not accompanying him to Canada, Joe and the mother are separated but they share custody of the son. Joe wants...

hi walidaun, mead is right. At point of entry, CIC will give you a study permit after evaluating your documents. In this permit they'll state the conditions of your stay (i.e. duration, perhaps the name of the university to attend, conditions of working off-campus, etc). Do bring proof of...

hello again, well, it seems you've submitted appropriate documents, good luck! I was only asking because I've seen in other posts that new students to Canada have applied for spousal open work permits for their partners but the student has not even begun their studies. Many of these OWP have...

hello manogna, ...just curious, you've been in Canada for 3 months, did you begin your studies already?

Hello calvinwang, It's better for you to be proactive and notify the province. That is, if in the future you don't want to have trouble with CIC for misrepresentation.

hello, The best thing to do is being honest; if you do not intend to live and settle in the Province you applied to, it's better to withdraw your application right away. You can send the provincial office a letter. I would expect that they would send you a withdrawal confirmation email or...

hello DSRK, With all due respect, I think you complicated your situation when it was not necessary. Even though I've read in prior posts that applying simultaneously to a Provincial program and Federally is ok, I have a hard time understanding why people would do that. It could be seen as...

hello bingca, I agree with starsup. You could apply for a Visitor visa (no more than 6 months) and study ESL, improve your English skills while living in Canada and see if you like it. If you decide you want to pursue your AME program, then you can apply for a Study permit within Canada. I...

hello, You won't be able to work as an Engineer right away. You need to have your professional credentials assessed and get certified as an Engineer in Canada. Each Province has it's own procedure and requirements. I think in Manitoba, you can contact the Association of Professional Engineers...

thanks for your replies. My co-worker said he called CIC but couldn't get through but he'll try again. He already applied for PR but his current OWP is based on his wife's study permit (valid for same duration of her studies), now the wife wants to switch to OWP. They're both in Canada already...

hello, I'm trying to help my co-worker but cannot find a the answer. He is a Provincial Nominee with an Open Work Permit for 3 years. They were told that once he gets the nomination certificate, the wife is entitled to work so she also wants to apply for an OWP. ...is it possible for both to...

Hi, is you wife outside of Canada now?

hello babymali, It seems that an error was made in you application with the live-in caregiver category so try to contact CIC to clarify. Also, as others said: your wife can apply for a spousal open work permit as long as you are "enrolled and actively pursuing your studies". I think the...

Hi, you should not work until you get a Post Graduate Work Permit. Your potential employer can wait until you're legally entitled to work. Once you receive confirmation from the university that you graduated, apply for the PGWP. If you attach an offer letter from an employer, it'll help your...

hello Artaud and others, When I sponsored by parents, I believe I had that same message (about 2 years ago). I called CIC call center and they gave me an email to which I had to report the issue and I had to fill out some of my personal info. such as: UCI, Last name, country of origin, type of...

Hi there, Well, this sound totally inappropriate and I'm puzzled that the Province (whichever it was) would violate their own criteria and nominate the spouse of a foreign student (if this is not allowed). It sounds like this could've been a huge oversight on the provincial office's side or...

Hello, You are partially correct. In your situation, if you're nominated by a Province you can then apply for a Bridging Work Permit and some Provinces may support you with a letter to obtain this permit. However, I believe you must send your PR application to CIC and after receiving the...
