    Spouse Open Work permit

    @canuck78 Hmmm I'm uber confused now haha. I have been trying to find posts I read on it but obviously now, when most needed, tada, can't find them. Anyways, I remember reading somewhere in family class section about spousal sponsorship where people were suggesting to apply for OWP when visitor...

    Spouse Open Work permit

    Might be worth to mention that she is from visa exempt country, too? Considering refusal/approval rates... We do really hope she will be granted an extension...

    Spouse Open Work permit

    @canuck78 - I read that restoration of status does not need to be of the same status previously held. So lets say she was a visitor but may get restoration as worker. But it's super risky if things go wrong. As for funds - not sure what they see as "sufficient". We showed statements of around...

    Spouse Open Work permit

    @canuck78 - not married yet but planning on, depending on the ways to make everything as safe as possible. I am aware I will need to add her to my ongoing PNP PR application of course. We wanted to do spousal sponsorship but I have not yet received PR and her visitor status is going to expire...

    Inland application, visitor visa expiery question

    Our question was about a second extension and applying for a spousal open work permit while being on legal and then implied status. I want to sponsor her inland or outland but I am afraid her time is running out while I still have not become a PR (I am a PNP PR applicant and applied a year ago)...

    Inland application, visitor visa expiery question

    Thanks for clearing this up a bit. We are still a bit confused what to state as a reason for extending my girlfriends (by that time spouse's) stay if we would apply for an extension after the current one expires. Would we need to mention that we are waiting for OWP to be accepted and that she...

    Inland application, visitor visa expiery question

    @Wakki, what happens in a situation when PA's status expires BEFORE AOR is granted? This is what I cannot find answer to. From what I understand, just sending off OWP + PR package and seeing it has been RECEIVED (tracking number) os not enough to get an implied status, it has to be AOR. I am...

    will visitor visa extension refusal affect my OWP application?

    Thank you so much for your input, but I have read that one cannot be on implied status from OWP application if applied for OWP while already being on implied status from applying for visitor extension. When does implied status from OWP actually "start"? From the moment CIC RECEIVES an...

Am I right? When does implied status from OWP actually "start"? From the moment CIC RECEIVES an...

    Hey guys, What happens if one applies for inland spousal PR with OWP for their spouse while spouse is on visitor extension implied status which does not give them implied status from OWP application --- HOW can one maintain any LEGAL status in Canada until any decision on PR is made? How is it...

    will visitor visa extension refusal affect my OWP application?

    I know this post is pretty old now but the issue seems relevant to our situation and hopefully someone can help us. What happens if I apply for OWP while still having legal status (visitor) but soon to be expired? As it takes at least few months to start processing OWP and PR application and...

    adding spouse to existing PR application, visitor status expires soon, extension / restoration / OWP

    Hey Wakki, I am obviously aware of her being legally married to me. Unfortunately, adding spouse to a file puts impact on principal applicant's PR, unlike in sponsoring once being PR. So if I would add her to my existing PR application and she gets denied and becomes out of status, her PR...

    adding spouse to existing PR application, visitor status expires soon, extension / restoration / OWP

    Hey guys, I'm gonna try to make it as short as possible for you to read and we would really appreciate any advice: my girlfriend is from visa exempt country and arrived in Canada on her eTA half a year ago - she never got a stamp in her passport and was not told to leave any time sooner. She...
