Hi everyone
I have some doubts in adding details of my wife to my PR application and applying for spousal open work permit application.
Below is my current status:
I am currently working in Canada on closed work permit and my wife is in India.
My PR application status in CIC's website says "Decision Made".
I got married when my PR application was "In process".
My wife's details are added to my application as a 'Non-Accompanying Dependant' and she has been asked to undergo a medical exam in India.
I was thinking that when my wife's details are added to my application, both of us will become PR together.
But now it doesn't look like that. I clarified this with CPP-Ottawa. They say that my wife will have to undergo a medical exam in India and she need not pay RPRF as she is added as a 'non-accompanying dependant' to my application. That means i will have to sponsor her after when i become a PR.
Simultaneously, i was thinking of submitting a spousal open work permit application for her in India as i am working in a skilled occupation (closed work permit) and bringing her to Canada on work visa.
And, when she is in Canada, i can sponsor her for PR.
Can somebody tell me if i am doing the right thing here?
