Re: Spouse open work permit from India

Hi,

My husband is working in Canada under NOC A since June'13 with 2 years LMO, while I am still in India waiting for my OWP. There was 1 refusal for me when he online applied my OWP in July 2013, refusal decision came in Oct'13 and it was mainly because of his Passport and WP both were getting expired in March'14 (On refusal letter it's mentioned "Insufficient evidence as to Spouse's employment in Canada", then we ordered CAIPS notes to know more details). Then based on remainder time of his LMO, he successfully extended his WP on his new passport from inside Canada, and then we have again applied my OWP paper application in Jan'14 through VFS Ahmedabad, but still no updates, no medical request, no additional documents request, no updates at all. Let me know if anyone is on same kind of situation.

Thanks.

Hello,

My family got their TRVs yesterday from Delhi High Commission. It comes as a big relief and much satisfaction after the unfortunate refusal of my spouse's SOWP the first time.

Good luck to all those who are waiting to be united with their families.

God bless.

Sunny, I do not think so as OWP for Spouse is different from TFW program. As OWP is dependent on your spouse's NOC O,A,B level job.
That too moratorium for TFW's is on food services sector only.
