Spouse Open Work permit

[fkl]

Hi everyone,

I am asking for a friend here and would appreciate if someone can answer me.

When uploading documents online lets say for a Spouse Open Work Permit, are the documents required to be attested?

Appreciate your help!

Generally no - assuming you are uploading scan of originals. If its a translation of degree or marriage certificate, yes it has to be attested. Same goes for any kind of affidavit (if you needed one as evidence of some thing for e.g. name change of applicant etc.)

Seniors, please help.

I applied for my wife SOWP on 19-Jan-2016 and yesterday CIC refused her application. The reason was that officer was not satisfied with the information we provided regarding previous travels. It was my mistake, I forgot to add that she had USA visa refusal! This little piece of information was the sole reason for her refusal.

Now I am in the process of reapplying, but this time, it is paper based. Should I submit original degrees and transcripts, or their copies? Persons who have submitted their paper based application, would you please share your experience? Thanks

You will have to submit an attested photocopy of your degree. Transcript can be requested by your university's admin office and should preferably be original.

How are you sure it is only because of travel history ? Because I have also applied for my wife's SOWP and she dosen't have any travelling history. And I don't remember if it asks for weather you had applied for US visa for if you have US visa. It only ask for last five years international travels not about the visa's you have or if you got acceptance or rejection from any of the country in the world.
I would recommend you to get notes on your file first and review them and then re-apply.
Seniors members might help you out better. This is just my opinion.

Hi everyone,

I hope someone can help me out with this. I am currently in Canada as a permanent Resident Status. My spouse is a US citizen and she currently is in USA.

question 1 : Would she be eligible to apply for an open work permit ? i.e a work permit that she will be able to work for any employer without LMIA ?


question 2 : I am also planning to submit her PR application under the family class sponsporship. Would she be able to apply for an open work permit if her PR sponsorship has been submitted ?


looking forward for a response. thanks !
