I think you would be better off applying inland because she'll get a new work permit. If you apply inland, you use different forms and there is no choice of visa office. If you apply outland, you can pick Ottawa as your processing office, however, immigration may send it to ND anyway but initially all sponsorship applications go to Mississauga for pre-processing.saju_321 said:Thanks Leon
You are very helpful.
So, you are saying visa processing office that has to be mentioned in the application form will be CPP-Ottawa and i have to mail the complete application package along with the PCC to CPC-Mississauga?
If you apply inland and she gets first stage approval, she will be guaranteed a work permit until she gets her PR however long that takes.saju_321 said:Hi Leon
My wife can get a new work permit only if she applies inland?
She is currently holding a spousal open work permit which is valid till Sep 2015. So, if she is getting a new work permit after first stage approval in inland process, are there chances that she will get the work permit for beyond Sep 2015?
What is the visa processing office that i have mention in the application form, CPP-Ottawa? And where do i send the complete application package, CPC - Mississauga?
hi, so you wife already undergo the medical on Feb., and after that how long did you take to get a ppr email? and can I ask what is PCC? Is that criminal check ?Thank you.saju_321 said:Hi Leon
I have seen those forms before, but sure, i will check them again.
I have another important doubt about submitting my wife's PCC. When my wife was in India and when my PR application was in process, they asked my wife to undergo medical and submit her PCC. Both these were done in Feb 2014. Now, when i apply for my wife's sponsorship in Mar/Apr 2014 do i need to submit the PCC again or can i show the reference of the recently submitted PCC? I can write an explanation enclosing the photocopy of the already submitted PCC.
I am planning to apply for a Spousal work permit Visa. My boy friend is currently based in Canada as a TFW.saju_321 said:Hi Everyone,
My wife applied for her spousal open work permit in India on Feb 18th and she hasn't even got a call for medical yet. I know some of them who applied during the same time and got their passport within a month's time. We are wondering if something is wrong with our application.
It'll be very helpful if someone who has applied for spousal open work permit in Jan/Feb/Mar 2014 in Canadian High Commission - New Delhi can share their experience.
Thanks.

My wife got her spousal open work permit.
Now, i am planning to sponsor my wife after when i become PR. I have sent my passport to receive confirmation of PR. So, probably within 1 month, i will be a PR.
The processing time for sponsoring spouse from within Canada is currently shown as 17 months.
Leon, is there any other way that my wife can become a PR? Her work permit is expiring in Sept 2015.
Your fiancé will have to sponsor your for PR after you get married. If you are not in Canada and not planning on staying in Canada for the duration of the processing, he will have to sponsor you outland which means no open work permit for you but the processing time may be shorter. If you want to apply inland, you are bound to stay in Canada during the processing time and although he can apply for an open work permit for you at the same time, it may take up to a year to get first stage approval and get that permit.jojo1026 said:Hi Leon,
Would really appreciate for your advice here.
My fiancé has the PR and will be moving in March15. We planning to register our marriage in July15 when he comes back from canada.
Can he apply spouse open work permit for me ( do I need to be in canada?)? and how is the sequence ?
open work permit > spouse sponsorship? OR both in the same time?
I would like to get a job ASAP, which one is faster?
many many thanks!!!
