Hi Folks .....

Does anyone know that how much time does Chandigarh consulate takes for Work Permit/Visa?

On CIC, it is 4 months but the VFS guys told my wife that she will receive her passport within a month. Since, she lives in Punjab, she had to apply in Chandigarh office.

Hi..

Even i'm in same situation. When i apply for OWP i had received Visiting visa for 3 years. I would like to know what are the chances of getting OWP if i apply again. If i apply again do i need to submit all the documents again?

can i apply for OWP from Canada? what is the time line to get the OWP? Is it better to apply from IND or from CAD. Which will process fast.

Thanks & Regards,
Vijay

Apply for OWP from India as a dependent on your spouse.

At port of entry there is a risk .....do not rely on that. The services are available in your country...why not utilize those.

If you are independent guy.....you can apply from within Canada but you will have to apply for LMO if working or you should have arranged employment.

Hi Everyone

I have just joined this form but always read the queries posted by members and the replies they r getting.
I am a full time student at Humber College, Canada. I am here since sep 2012. My husband applied for spousal open work permit in the month of October.
The file has been received by Canadian consulate on Oct 29 2012, and till date it says is in processing.
We haven't get any reply since then..........It has been told by VFS (New Delhi) to my husband that its gonna take 20 working days.
Please anyone can suggest me what is the actual processing time for spousal OWP and what is the reason for the delay?

Many Thanks
Jassi
