Hi Everyone,
I applied for my wife's Open Work Permit and it was refused on November 18, 2020, on the following basis:

1.) You have not demonstrated that you come within the exceptions under section 186 of the IRPR exempting you from the requirement to obtain a work permit or that your employment in Canada comes within the exceptions to section 203 of the IRPR. As a result, your offer of employment must be the subject of an economic effect determination before a work permit can be issued to you. Your employer in Canada should contact the local office of the Department of Employment and Social Development Canada to begin this process.


Can anyone help me on how to address this issue on my next application. Also I wanted to ask , should i apply for her application from my account or her account.

P.S I will be sponsoring her as a Post-Grad Work Permit holder now.
