Have any of you applied for PR yet? One of my friends has recently applied for PR under CEC and then applied for his spouses OWP. His spouse recently received her medical request, only after 4 weeks of application sent through VFS to New Delhi. I am planning to do the same. Having patience and doing lots of research before applying seems to be the right thing to do. ;D

Hi Avez: My wife who is in canada applied for my PR under CEC for both of us in Aug 2013 and we got our file# in OCt 2013. I submitted my OWP in July and have been still waiting for the results. I have heard that PR application and OWP application work independent of the other..i mean one doesnt affect the other.

hi Ben Rajan and Ave.My visitor visa was also rejected twice. but then on june 21 I applied for open spouse work permit and now I am in Canada. I think to get open work permit your spouse employment proofs should be very strong. like every little detail of the company or firm with whom he or she is working. earlier visitor visa refusals doesn't matter. jst make your application strong .

Please let me know what are the documents u have attached at the time of applied ..if you could give me the details that would be very helpful for me.

And what were the reasons of rejection of your Visitor visa.

What i observed from people and my own personal experience in this forum.

Anything can be possible people are here who got there Spouse -open work permit.

people are here who got there Spouse Visitor visa even with first attempt.

Just make the file strong as strong as u can.

Add the proof and evidence ties with the home country.

Show them all the thing give ur best shot and before apply everything search on that.

Rest up to luck ... anything can be happen.

Best of luck guys...Everything gonna be alright.

Regards
Rajan

Hi:

My situation is exactly the same. Applied 2 times for visitor and got rejected... I have applied the 3rd time for OPEN work permit. My wife is in Canada on a work permit and a +ve LMO.
I will keep u posted on the results. I think we have a better chance for an OWP than visitor.
But in the end its all in the visa officers hand.

HI Ben,Please tell me list of documents u attached for OWP.What documents u have shown for ties to home country.Also whether ur partner is having any travel history.Please reply.
Raj.

Hello Raj,

Sorry for the delay in response.
No, my friend had not received an AOR when he applied for his wife.

************** UPDATED ALL ********************************

My friends wife got her SOWP... JUST within 6 weeks... UNBELIEVABLE RIGHT... LOL... I am very happy for them...
I know there folks on the string waiting for more 3 months... From India itself...

I asked him many questions...

1. He did not put ANYTHING for home ties for her
2. He did not put her resume or work experience or educational certificate
3. His cover letter/invitation is so simple and straight forward

Hmmm... I guess his wife's file was handle by an angel...

4. He did not address even a single reason for the first refusal

I AM STILL IN SHOCK... In a nice way...

5. He only put his work stuff... His positive LMO, CAD bank statements, T4, pay stubs, relationship proof, etc...

That's why I've decided to take it easy... Get my CEC application in order... Then send out the SOWP application with AOR for CEC, in shaa Allah...
