Spouse Open Work permit

[olmo]

My common-law partner applied December 16, 2018. Submitted and received biometrics confirmation December 21, 2018. Today, March 25, 2019 got a "new message", Correspondence Letter, this doesn't look at all like a Correspondence Letter. The subject said "validity of your biometric information". Which seems weird because the letter when downloaded is not the same as what the website says. Is this normal?
The final decision does say: "Your application was approved. Check your messages below for details."

The letter doesn't describe anything, just tells that the biometrics is valid for 10 years. Did they send the wrong document? or can she enter Canada and get the SOWP at POE? or what are her next steps?

Thank you for your replies, We've receive the correspondence letter now, 1 day after getting the approval. I could't call IRCC, because they had a high volume of calls, like always, seems impossible to get someone

Oh, sorry to hear that. FKL shared a good link, here is another link for R205(c)(ii), read under R205, then under "C" and then under "ii) click exception C42 which applies to spouses of international students.
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/temp/work/opinion/codes.asp

I would suggest you wait for your study permit renewal, and once you have SP with long validity, apply for your spouse OWP. I would suggest you write a cover letter and mention following details, from your spouse side

My spouse is a full time student in XYZ college / university, designated learning institution (DLI # --- ---- ---) and I am requesting spouse open work permit under C42 exception, R205(c)(ii). and then read above paragraph and attach all required documents.

I hope it helps.

regards
