My partner applied for PR (in Canada applicant) and we had included an open work permit with the application. My partners permanent residency was happily APPROVED recently and we have not had any updates on my open work permit throughout the entirety of my application process. As I understand that he is now a permanent resident he does not need the open work permit. Can I withdraw the open work permit application and request a refund? What would be the process for that?

The OWP is not included as a standard in the inland application right? Its a choice and you paid for it separately. Correct me if I am wrong, I am an Outland applicant btw. The application can't be withdrawn when your husband does his landing in Canada. And you paid for something you haven't used.... You are not going to pay for something you haven't used or can't use, I'd check with them if there is a policy for a refund.

Contact them, make a phone call or use the webform.

I see — thanks for the information. What number are you calling them on? Is it a long wait on call before they answer?
we’re in the same situation. Got a temporary application # sometime in Aprli. Not a word since then. Can you please share the phone number with me, too?
Thanks!

Hi,

I had raised a webform to NDVO since my medical result was not updated on ecas/ GC key. My SA letter mentioned file transferred to NDVO.
I received below email from NDVO :

Please be advised that we can only assist in applications where India is the main processing office. You have submitted an application under a permanent resident category and your application is being processed in Canada.

Any idea what does this mean? Did anyone receive similar message from NDVO/ any other VO?
Hi, I got the same response from NDVO for a webform that we submitted. And I re-submitted 10 days later with another one. It's been 5 days since and no response yet.

Did you find out why we got this and if there is any other solution? I called IRCC agent twice and they don't know why NDVO sent back a response like that.

Hi Everyone

We just sent our spousal application 2 weeks ago. Now, i realized we are in a huge problem :( i just read about the undeclared dependent being refused from this forum. I was a dependent to my mother's apllication before and got here as PR in 2018 as single. I have a fiancee back home then. I landed 2018 and went back to my country of residence last year to get married to be able finally have my wife here in Canada.

BUT, on our application. We stated that we lived together prior to landing here in Canada for more than year. I thought that stating that will make our relationship proof as geniuine. But upon reading the undeclared dependent, it will categorize my wife as a common law. Will ircc determine it as common law based only from the dates we entered on our papers? I did not include any proof of cohabitation as it was only a rental aparment and both of us still go on and go home to our respective house every weekend or so. In that rental apartment, we also lived together with my younger sister. I believe we do not fall into common law as we do not really have any joint bank accounts, any property under our name. our primary addresses were still from our main residence, its just that we rented an apartment together.

I still have not received the AOR for out application. what will be the best way of going forward from here? Can i cancel the application? or just wait for their decision. im completely devastated right now.

Which application did you put in false information? Your PR as dependent of your mother or your spousal sponsorship?

Were you living together for 1 years before you landed as PR in 2018?

I was included in my mom's application as dependent. While waiting for the PR grant I was living with my fiance and had it noted in our application that we have a same address for more that a year. Thinking it would be beneficial in proving our relationship as genuine.

so did you live with your common law partner for 1 year before landing as a PR. That's misreprensentation in your mom's application.
She should have removed you from her depedent list since you were not single any more.

Or did you NOT live with your spouse as a common law partner back then before you land. Only 1 of them can be true.

to be honest, i lived with my still fiancee before landing as PR. mom and me do not know that we need to declare that i am not single anymore, because I am not married yet at the time of PR landing.

will ircc refuse my wife spousal application using only the information(dates) entered on our paper submission? there are no other proof of cohabitation and other proof such as joint accounts, properties under our name.

and if we were living with my sister in the same rental apartment, will be considered as commonlaw ?

Can we still cancel the application? as we have not received AOR yet? then we can submit a new application

- That's called misrepresentation
1- There's no way to fix that unless you cancel this one and send another one with the real information.
2- Pay another fee for the new application and request a reimbursement for the other one you are already sent. Just to avoid payment conflict in the system.
3-Contact IRCC client service to tell them that you want to cancel your application( No explanation) and they will guide you.
4- Start right away your new application since you have to cancel the current one

still hoping for a positive outcome.
There's no positive outcome except you cancel or withdraw this one. You wanted to make your file stronger but you make a huge mistake which is you were common law partner and you did not flag it to them. This not a minor mistake and you have to anticipate a rejection or headache and the simple thing to do is «Cancel». So that, the file won't be processed and you are good to fix your mistake and Re-send your new application.

Hi,

my wife received a letter for additional documents request. Documents we submitted by mail/ post to NDVO. Was received and IRCC account states documents were received on Aug 19 and are under review. Got interview call to my wife as well from NDVO. However, the confusion is if we already submitted the documents by mail, but in IRCC account, under: view submitted application or upload documents", it still gives choice to submit the required documents (same docs which were sent already). Confused whether we submit through mail and online both or we can disregard the online uploading choice as the docs were already received, seen by officer and got interviewed ? Very confusing for me. Kindly let me know if anyone else had such situation.
