Spouse Open Work permit
- Thread starter ashub
- Start date
Greetings, guys!
I'm looking to get some advice for my wife's OWP application. Let me describe my situation first. I've recently received my PGWP and currently looking for a job (it will be a NOC 0, A or B job). My wife is finishing her bachelors degree this fall. She is NOT studying in Canada or her home country. I want her to come to Canada (she wants it too). Oh, and she doesn't need medical exam.
I basically see three options for her.
1) Apply for OWP in the country she's studying in. (processing time much shorter)
2) Apply for OWP in the home country. (long processing time)
3) Get visitors visa and change status once she's in Canada.
Now, which approach would you recommend and why?
What documents are necessary? What documents are not required, but good to have?
What problems might arise?
Another question for those who think options 1 or 2 are better. My understanding is that the list of required documents is super short. It's only application, family info, passport, photo and marriage certificate. Why does everyone advise to submit many more supporting documents? Is there real value in doing that or will just complicate the processing of the application?
Looking forward to hearing some great stories!
Cheers!

Hello everyone,
I need suggestions for my wife's situation. I am currently an international student in Canada and my wife's SOWP application got approved. I am in a very quiet province (Newfoundland) where it gets so difficult to get even menial jobs. Consequently, I decided my wife should stay in Ontario for the duration of my studies as I have a PR application in process already and I will be done here in the next couple of months. However, I planned visiting her at least twice in a month and move away from here as soon as i get my thesis submitted. I no longer have courses and I am rounding up on final submission of my thesis. The issue now is when she was given work permit at Toronto, my location (Newfoundland) was written on her work permit as her employment location. Now my question is does that implies she can only work in Newfoundland only or she could still work anywhere within Canada?
