Ray of Hope - 70th Draw!

[N00shD]

I have officially been accepted for a student permit and my husband has been accepted for an open work permit!!!! Here is where I will probably beat most of you to Canada, but not as a permanent resident.

I have an important question for anyone who has an open work permit from Canada. Did you have to cross the border to get something official before you can say you are legally allowed to work? Or is the number in the acceptance letter the number you tell potential employers?

Thank you

My husband has open work permit. First you get the visa on your pass and when you are at the border the officer will check your letter and the visa and will ask some routine questions and then will issue a Work Permit (with this permit you are allowed to work in Canada). I am not sure what you are suppose to give the potential employers when you didnt cross the border yet

Thank you. Does the work permit get attached to the passport or is it a separate document? Interestingly, because we are from USA, we won't get visas or etas. I can't figure out if anything will wind up on the passport.

You sensed that Mr. Candidtate? That is the sense of inevitability. It is the sense of a ' Draw'

Oh I see. Normally they attache it to the passport. I have my student permit attached to my pass but my second permit is separate since I applied within Canada.

That's what I thought until I read the letter that said no visa or eta.

I am already in canada with my husband for his studies and i am applying for open work permit tomorrow. Do we need, in case of pr application, to keep our funds in canadian bank account? Or should it be fine if the funds are in an account in our home country? Would bringing the funds into accounts here require an explanation letter?

As long as you can show where the money was for 6 months, I don't think it matters where. We have opened a Canadian account, but haven't started transferring funds yet.

You get the open work permit when you land at the Port of Entry

Thank you. Is there any reason we can't drive up now to land even though I don't start school until January?

 

[siju22]

so another 12-13 hours is the day where most of them are waiting. Yes it will be. All the best folks. GOD Bless you all.

Wow!! You're in great hurry to leave Mr. DT

 

[Rubydairy]

425 fingers crossed.. when is the next draw?

Mine is 424, any hope for tomorrow. Seriously praying fingers crossed.

The biggest concern for us is doing whatever is necessary to be able to state my hubby is legally eligible to work in Canada on job applications. If we land this weekend, I'm sure he'll be able to claim that. If we wait, I'm not sure what his status is considered.
