Spouse Open Work Permit OR Visitor Visa

[Justsend]

Hi

I hold a 3-years post-graduation open work permit. I finish my master's in a Canadian university in May 2018 and been working in Canada since July 2018 under NOC code "0" (permanent job). I got married this year May 2019 and my spouse is in India.

We applied for spouse open work permit but got rejected with below reasons

• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in
subsection 200(1) of the IRPR, based on the purpose of your visit.
• You have not adequately demonstrated that you meet the requirements of a spousal
open work permit pursuant to section 205(c)(ii) of the Regulations.

I have additional documents to show like my employer letter with NOC code, my marriage picture which I did not include the first time

My questions are; should I apply for a spouse open work permit again or a visitor visa? which has a better chance to get approved?

I will really appreciate your response, thank you in advance

Hi,

Is anybody have any thoughts? Please reply

Since you've applied for a work permit, applying for a visitor's visa will be reviewed with scrutiny - your purpose of visit is obviously not tourism, it's to get a job and stay in Canada.

Reapply for SOWP. Get CAIPS notes first to see why you got denied.

yes, reapply for SOWP. Dont apply for visitor. My consultant advised the same in my case too.
