[Tapout007]

Im a Spouses of skilled foreign workers (NOC) Skill Levels 0 , A or B.. My question is if im eligible to get an Open work permit in Port of Entry, (1)-would the immigration officer still ask for my outbound ticket, since im just going to canada with an inbound ticket knowing that ill be eligible to obtain an OWP, what would they ask me, anyone had any experience like this or jesture...

You dont require a return ticket when you are accompanying a spouse with a workpermit.

Thanks.

But my Question was im the only one going to traveling to canada from USA to get an open work permit in Port of Entry with my wife's documments to show the Imm Officer. while my wife who is a skilled worker is not accompanying me and staying in canada. Do i still need an outbound ticket to show Immigration Officer

Hi, i work in the airline industry. If i may give you my opinion, first of all pricewise it may be cheaper to buy a roundtrip ticket instead of a one way. You should do the comparison. Also, who knows? Maybe you will want to use this outbound ticket one day to visit your country of origin or other. A ticket is good for one year from the original date of issue. Just make sure you are allowed to make changes on it (usually there is a minimal change fee to this). That return ticket may back u up after all just in case customs prefer to see one on you. Never know. Better be safe than sorry.

Thanks, Ouihel01 .... (1)-That's why i was just wondering if "Inbound ticket" is good, because if i was offered an OWP in Port of Entry to work in canada, wouldnt it be a waste of money to get roundtrip ticket because i wouldnt know how long would my OWP be to work in canada? I know my visitor status as a USA is 6months, i had a roundticket before when i visited last year..... (2)- ok if i did get a roundtrip ticket to canada, started working let say for more then a year, can i refund the "outbound ticket" and how much percent will i get back? Thanks!

I dont know too much about immigration rules , whether a one way ticket is accepted or not for your purpose, i dont know . But what i do know i told you already . An airline ticket is refundable only if you buy it at a higher fare like Y class for example. Thats a lot more expansive though. The percentage will be calculated according to what was used.
Cheap airfares are usually not refundable and non exchangeable either. Be careful and shop around.
