Spouse Open Work permit

[Vinisha gokul]

Hi all , I got my open work permit approved today !

But they didn’t ask me to submit passport for stamping , I applied from Canada itself .

There is no need of work permit stamping ? Any idea on this ?

You only need Visa Stamp on your passport to enter in Canada, if you are already in Canada you don't need it, they'll send you work permit
if you go to India during your work permit then you'll need Visa stamp on your passport, you can do this online and you have to send them your passport, i think fee is $100

Can i ask when did you apply and how online or paper application?

Now i have a question , actually now I’m in USA for tourism, so when I go back to Canada will there be a problem ? Bec I have only visitor visa stamping ? Will this affect my work permit ? Any idea ?

I am not sure about this, i think they mailed your work permit to your Canadian address, so you haven't received it i guess, i think you'll be fine but confirm from somebody else too

Can you please tell me your timeline too
My brother applied last week online
did they ask you for any other documents ? or bio-metrics? medical?

to Apply for open work permit extension, should we apply extension for visitor visa also or only open work permit is sufficient ?

Hello! Can someone tell me if I need to certify my educational documents from one of the designated organisations (WES, IQAS etc)? I am applying for spouse dependent work visa and my highest level of education is bachelors. Also,assuming that certification is required then should it be done for all educational degrees i.e., o level, a level and bachelors?

No its not required if u r going for SOWP. In case of PR only it ll be required

Thank you. But doesn't the immigration website mention that they'll accept attested documents only. Since I'll be submitting my case in paper, then can you tell me where should I get my educational documents attested from? I did my o levels from edexcel board, a levels from cambridge board, bachelors from Pakistan...

My wife Student Visa got approved recently, I applied for SOWP on 14 Feb and today 19 Feb i received correspondence letter stating my Student Visa has been refused . I am confused i applied for Open work permit not student Visa , Is it a mistake from CIC what should i do , i have submitted Webform and have also emailed New Delhi Embassy to review my application.
Below is the letter i received.

“Thank you for your interest in studying in Canada. After a careful review of your study permit application and supporting documentation, I have determined that your application does not meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and Regulations. I am refusing your application”
