PGWP based on Spouse WP

[nisarg1711]

Hi All,

My wife completed 1 year course from UofC of Canada and then we moved back to India. Meanwhile she applied for PGWP which was approved in March - 2016.

Currently we live in India and want to go back to Canada. We are planning to go together but I do not have WP as it was expired in Dec-2015 and I did not extend it (my mistake).

In this situation, what should we do? Following are the options on which we can re-enter Canada together:

> Apply for my dependent WP from India (Rule says I can only apply after my wife gets a job in O, A or B category) which has a fare chances of rejection.
> Apply for Visitor Visa and go with my wife and then apply for WP within Canada.
> Try to get LMIA from Canadian company and get a job From India and apply for WP.

All experts of this group, please help.

Thanks in advance.

Nisarg

#1 No point. It's 100% guaranteed your work permit application will be refused since your wife does not have a full time NOC A, B or 0 job in Canada.
#2 Best option if you want to travel together.
#3 Unlikely to work given how difficult it is to secure an LMIA.

Thanks Scylla for your prompt reply..

As per your suggestion, 2nd option would be best then wouldn't be it an issue to get WP after landing in Canada on visitor visa?

Also, from what I have heard is to get a visitor visa in this case is a bit difficult, as we need to prove strong ties to home.

To avoid this what I can do is:

> File a visitor visa independently and show that I am going there as a tourist and I can get a letter from my uncle(not a family member) who lives in Canada.

Is that possible?

You must prove your strong ties to India even if your uncle invites you..... you won't be able to workaround this/avoid it. In fact, as your wife has a PGWP, you'll have to work harder to prove your strong ties.

Also, your wife's PGWP + your previous Canada visa history will show up through the Family Information form.... even if your uncle invites you

Your wife's PGWP is just 12 months? Now only 8 months left? What is the sense for coming back to Canada?
