Hi All,
Greetings for the holiday season! Hope everyone is doing well.
My spouse is working in Canada on a Temporary Work Permit NOC-A (2173) which is valid till 30th September 2016. I want to apply for an Open Work Permit so that i can go and live with him and work simultaneously once in Canada. I have collected following documents for my SOWP application -
My documents -
1.Passport
2.Digital Photo
3.Work Permit Application Outside of Canada (IMM1295E)
4.Proof of relationship: Marriage Certificate + Pictures etc.
5.Upfront medical exam e-medical certificate.
Proof of support in Canada (Spouse's documents)
1.His Employment letter and recent payslips
2.Income Tax Return: Notice of Assessment
3.Bank statement: previous 3 months and current savings
4.Accommodation support: lease/rental agreement and utility bills
My Supporting Document
1.Current employment letter and 3 recent payslips.
2.Bachelor degree and other educational documents.
3.Bank statements for last 3 months and savings.
Apart from the above mentioned documents do I also need following documents ?
1.Police clearance certificate?
2.Return air tickets to and from Canada for around September 2016?
3.Do I need to show ties to my home country in any way? In all honesty I won't be able to get such a long leave from my work place and that's why I plan to resign before leaving for Canada from my current Job.
I would also like to mention that an immigration lawyer mentioned to me that the Spouse open work permit will not work as I am currently not in Canada. Is that right? As I see many fellow forum members who have applied an outland SOWP application and got one. I am a bit confused! :-\
Can any kind soul answer my queries at their convenience?
Thanks a ton!
