I am more desperate to get a PPR then other folks on this board!
As ppl might know who have been following my posts for past 6 months; my wife has entered in canada on fa visitor visa and she is having a problem getting a open work permit.
I am eligible from many different ways, but they just changed some policies in april 2011.
my wife is eligible ---
1. I am a skilled worker.
2. I have a PNP certificate..
3. they say on the website that you are eligible for a work permit, if u pass certain caetogaties of ur PR process...what could that process be...we are at the last stage.....
Now here is the new scheme from CIC starting spril`2011....
husband and wife both cannot have an open work permit at the same time...one has to be closed (mandotary)...
so even tho i am a skilled worker...my wife can only get a work permit , if i have a closed work permit with specified employed and NOC code.....which i think is rubbish.....tell me one thing, given this economy....why would i get my work permit closed and shoot my self.....think about it this way..what if i loose my job....
i am frustrated...my wife`s entry is expiring on dec 16th, 2011....
I hope no one has to go thru all this BS..
basically the spouses of PGWP students are not eligible for OWP.....simple...
so here`s the scheme....whoever comes to canada and files for LMO and get a closed work permit are able to get their spouses on OWP in months.....but if we students..pay thousands of dollors, contribute to the economy in everyway......and still get no OWP for their spouses...i dont think it is fair....
I know it is not a right to ask for a spousal OWP.....but to me it is a discrimination to PGWP students compared to other LMO workers....
