Hi,

I am nearing to submit my application for a LMIA work permit (Global talent stream) and for my spouse we will apply for the open work permit.

However when I choose open work permit for my spouse we get the Purpose of Travel - Other (Which is required, and only for her) this is instructions for this one from cic.gc.ca:
You must submit proof that you are coming to Canada for a temporary visit.
Examples of what you can provide as proof:
A scanned copy of:
Your flight ticket departing Canada,
Your travel itinerary (e.g. places you will visit or stay, such as hotel booking),
Proof of a medical appointment.​

Sure, we will buy two-way tickets, but AFTER we get our visa approved........

I was told that my spouse should write a letter explaining the purpose of travel to a company for my stay in Canada. My spouse included cutout from my company contract where it says that the contract lasts only 1 year. Also, the company contract states that they will buy a round trip tickets to Canada for me - and she included that cutout from the contract as well (But we will buy the tickets for my spouse, we say that as well). My spouse added that we always liked to visit Canada and she is seeking for an open-work-permit so she can find a job while my contract is valid which would help us financially to experience Canada more freely. She also included that the Canadian (International) work experience would be a great asset to her Resume, once we return back to our home country.

Basically, that's the whole letter but better worded (with the cutouts from the contract - the whole contract will be attached to our application) - Do you think this would be enough - To be honest I am a bit reluctant and I am really not sure if the immigration officer reviewing my case would reject our application because of this.

What do you recommend?

Thank you
