    EE declined and impact on spousal sponsorship

    Applying for work permit within Canada

    Thanks for the reply. What I don't understand is why IRCC have sent me a Job Seekers Validation Code and information for registering with the Job Bank if I cannot apply for a work permit to be able to legally work? Also if you could advise - I am anticipating a job offer shortly; am I to add...
