Hello All,
I am working in canada on PGWP. My Job lies under NOC category "B". I am getting married in June and want to apply for Spouse Open Work Permit. I am not sure what documents and forms are needed for this.
Just going through this forum looks like people who are here have already processed their application and have better knowledge than any other consultant.
Please let me know which forms and documents are needed for SPOUSE OPEN WORK PERMIT.
Thanks in Advance.
All the best on you application and congratulations to those who already got their visa.
Fill out all the 3 forms [IMM1295E, IMM5257B_1, IMM5707E ] and include these supporting documents,
1) Invitation Letter - signed by you inviting your spouse to stay with you.
2) A letter stating that you will financially take care of her and documents to prove that (example: Your 6 months bank statements having enough liquid cash flow, a letter confirming your employment in Canada, pay slips, your job offer letter, Notice of Assessments for the last 2 years, etc...)
3) *VERY IMPORTANT* - If you work in NOC-A/B level job, then a letter from your employer stating your job duties and responsibilities which will prove that you work in NOC A/B job.
4) A copy of your valid work permit along with a valid visa.
5) A copy of your passport biodata pages
6) A copy of your marriage certificate
7) Few photographs of your marriage ceremony following the rituals, honeymoon pictures, etc which will prove that your marriage is legitimate.
