Hello Experts,
I would need your suggestion for the following situation.
I have submitted a paper application for spouse open work permit along with the original passport for my wife as of 11th Feb 2020 from India. Last update, I had on 28th Feb that medical is passed and the application still in progress. I do not have any update afterward.
I am in Canada on PGWP. I received ITA on 16th April under CEC class and I am accompanying her as well. I can't complete her PCC and medical without a passport.
What are my options now?
  • Should I withdraw the spouse open work permit application, or should I wait for the final decision? There is no guarantee in this situation that I will get her passport before 90 days over if I withdraw. Current processing time is increased to 17 weeks.
  • Can I submit a PR application without her PCC and old medical which is valid until Sep'20 along with LOE?
  • Is it okay to have both applications at the same time?
