Hi,

I'm from a visa-exempt country and my husband will list me as accompanying spouse in his study permit application.

But I plan to join him couple months after he goes to Montreal to study at a cegep.

My question is:

1. what document should I bring to prove that I am a spouse of a student with a valid study permit at a port of entry?
2. Can I apply for open work permit at the port of entry? If so, what is processing fee? Or is it better to just enter and apply for work permit at a later time? Is the fee same?

Thank you so much for your answers!

1. Proof of the marriage, copy of the spouse study permit.
2. Yes you can apply for SOWP at the POE, cost $150

Hi,

I am in canada on PGWP working full time as a retail sales supervisor under NOC B-6211. I applied for my spouse open work permit in April 2015 but it got refused on July 10, 2015. I am meeting all the requirements. Why they refused it? the reason mentioned here is that::

I am not satisfied you meet the requirements of R205(c)(ii).

Could you please help me with this. because we want to reapply. Please help me urgently so that we can do it again asap.

The vo should clearly come to know that your job is NOC B category, my friend got rejected two times because of this.The processing time cannot guarantee.
