Hi All,

I applied for an open work permit on June 1st 2016 to work in Canada and it got refused because of the below reason:

Your application as requested is refused.
[X] After considering all the circumstances of your case, your application for a work permit
cannot be approved as requested as per section R203 of the Immigration and Refugee
Protection Regulations. You do not possess a valid Labour Market Impact Assessment and
Confirmation from Employment and Social Development Canada. Your prospective employer is
responsible for obtaining this confirmation.

Since I am applying for an open work permit I don't have any offer with any employer in Canada and cannot get the LMIA and Confirmation from Employment and Social Development Canada.
My spouse is in Canada and he holds a work permit from his employer.I joined him last month and have applied for an open work permit to work here.

When I enquired with the CIC they mentioned the following as the reason for the refusal of the open work permit - I have mentioned as "Open Work Permit" in IMM5710E form in Details of Intended work in Canada section (question no.a).Also they asked me to mention my spouse work permit details.

If I should specify my spouse's work permit details, in which form and in which section should I be specifying them .

Please do let me know so that my open work permit application gets through.

If someone has applied for a spousal work permit and has got it in the recent times , could you share IMM5710E form so that it would be of great help to me.

Thanks in advance.

Post your question to the Foreign Workers section of the forum. If you failed to provide information about your spouse's employment in your application - then you were correctly refused.
