Hi, I would be grateful if you can help me with a couple of questions.
My husband holds a valid visa with a letter of introduction for a study permit (as well as a valid acceptance letter from a DLI which is on an approved list), and I am his spouse who holds a valid visa with a letter of introduction for an OWP. My husband's classes start in mid-January, and we have a quarantine plan too.
I have a few small questions:
1. Do I (the spouse) need a written authorization from IRCC if I travel to Canada together WITH my husband (an international student)? I mean not to reunite at a later date, but travel together. As far as I read on the IRCC website I don't need it, but I still need to show that my reasons for travel are non-discretionary at POE.
2. If so, as a holder of the letter of introduction for OWP do I need a job offer to show that my reasons for travel are essential (non-discretionary)? And what does it mean to have "a valid job offer" in mine case? Since OWP doesn't require LMIA or Offer of Employment, could I show at POE a simple job offer letter from a Canadian employer (I do have one)? Will it be sufficient?
It would be great to hear if someone has a similar situation, thanks!
