Hi Everyone,

I was applying the PRV and OWP( extend in staying in canada, marked C) last December.
I got married with canadian and he will be my sponsor.

I got first approval from CIC for OWP.
It took 6 months.
I am really happy about it. But I think that it means I am not sponsored yet.
I have to wait another answer that it will start...Am I correct?

Then I am looking for the answer that I can return to Canada with the OWP visa when I travel to my country.

cause on the OWP visa,
Remarks,: Application for permanent resident status hs received initial approval. Does not confer temporary resident status. SW/C
This does not authorize re-entry.

what does SW/C mean?
and I can get out and return to Canada?

I hope someone help me this question, please!!!
Thank you!!!

Hi,

I am still looking for the answer,
This might be too easy question for someone to used to the law.

but I am just wondering this open work permit visa allow me to go and return in Canada.

Visa is the visa, so It should be okey for me to in and out...

Sorry to asking.
I hope someone let me answer, please.
Thanks,

If you normally require a visitor visa to enter Canada, you can't re-enter on your work permit. Also you really shouldn't leave Canada during an "in-Canada" spousal application, even if you don't require a TRV to enter, the Border officer could decide that you are no longer in Canada, and refuse admission. There goes your application and you will have to start over again. Be warned it has happened.
