Hi Sunny,

Sorry to know ur negative result..

Don't worry...I just want to know, as per the R205..have you completed ur 6 months employment with your employer and is ur work permit is a post graduate work permit or LMO based WP. If you have not completed 6 months..just wait for the duration and reapply...you will definitely get it.

Really I dont know...why immigration people are doing like this...they have issued a WP and SOWP at a time to some of my friends when applied together....in this case the even did not satisfy their R205 rule right...

Bad News my wife spouse open work permit god refused.

Reason:

only 1 reason for refusal:

Iam not satisfied that you meet the requirements of R205(c)(ii)

Really depressed i dont know what the high commission wants from us.

I am really sorry for your application ......

Can someone let me know what is the R 205 rule...is it mention in website or somewhere...?

Why CIC is not understanding the situation of Spouse's....

Why they are breaking the hearts and feel them so depressed.

Below is the R205(c)(ii) along with CIC website source:

5.38. Public policy, competitiveness and economy R205(c)(ii)
The following programs are designated as work that can be performed by a foreign national based on the criteria listed in R205(c)(ii).
A. Spouses or common-law partners of skilled workers, C41
Spouses or common-law partners of skilled people coming to Canada as temporary foreign workers may themselves be authorized to work without first having a confirmed job offer. Eligibility requirements of the principal foreign worker which allow the spouse to qualify for a work permit are as follows:
 The principal foreign worker must hold a work permit which is at a level that falls within National Occupational Classification (NOC) Skill Levels 0 , A or B. See the NOC site on HRSDC’s Web page at http://www23.hrdc-drhc.gc.ca/2001/e/generic/welcome.shtml. The skill levels can be found in the Matrix on the left-hand side of the screen.
 These skill levels include management and professional occupations and technical or skilled tradespersons.
 The principal foreign worker must either hold a work permit that is valid for a period of at least six month’s duration, or, if working under the authority of R186 without a work permit, must present evidence that they will be working for a minimum of six months.
 The principal foreign worker and spouse must physically reside, or plan to physically reside, in Canada while working.
Note: If you are a holder of an open work permit (e.g. Post-Graduation Work Permit, Working Holiday, etc), your spouse, applying for the C41 exemption, will need to attach a copy of your work permit to his or her application for an open work permit. Your spouse will also need to provide information about your employment by attaching supporting documents including:  A letter from your current employer confirming employment or a copy of your employment offer or contract; AND  A copy of one of your payslips.
