Hello All,

If anyone here can guide and help me that would be great. I am a Canadian Citizen and i applied for my wife OWP under new family reunification program. She was in Dubai when we applied for PR spousal. she got her AOR and then she got her visitor visa. She arrived in Canada and we applied for OWP on June 29, 2023. Today we got refusal letter and reason was as mentioned below:

This letter refers to your application for a work permit. Based on your application and accompanying documentation that you have provided, I have carefully considered all information and I am not satisfied that you meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and Regulations. Your application as requested is therefore refused. [X] As a foreign national in Canada you are not eligible to apply for a document of this type until you receive confirmation that your application for permanent residence will be processed from within Canada. [X] You must leave Canada on or before the expiry of your current document or, if your document has expired you must leave Canada immediately. Failure to do so could result in enforcement action being taken against you.

Can someone please guide me what to do next? She is in Canada on Visitor Visa and her PR application still in progress and visa office is London.

Thank you and much appreciated !!
