Spouse Open Work permit

[Sumanpreet$123]

Hi All,
I applied for SOWP in February 17, paper based. I linked my application online, there it showed that my Medical is Passed on Feb 21. Biometrics completed. I already have application number online, with background check in progress.

But I have not received AOR or biometrics completion letter on my email. Is my application already in progress since I already have application number?

hi can u please share your timeline?

Hi,

I have arrived to Canada in Oct 2019 on Work Permit along with my wife and baby who are on Visitor record.

My wife has applied for open work permit in Dec 2019 through Online channel with following documents as per Document Checklist generated by CIC website -
1) IMM5710e
2) Passport of my wife
3) Digital Photo
4) Marriage Certificate (from India) - We are married for more than 10+ years
5) My work permit as 'Family member proof of status"

However, I am realizing that we have not submitted any other documents like cover letter, my employment letter, my pay slips, bank statements etc. as they were not asked by Document Checklist.

1) Please confirm if we have missed any document to be submitted
2) Our application is not yet reviewed by visa officer. Can we add additional documents?

Thanks!

Hi all,
SOWP application was rejected, got the below reason as grounds for rejection, any inputs appreciated:

1. You have not established that you are the spouse or that you meet the definition of common law partner as defined in irpr
2. Not demonstrated that you meet the requirements of the SOWP pursuant to section 205 (c) (ii) of the regulations.

Applying again with More detailed documents of
Marriage like More photos, wedding invitation, marriage certificate.
Is there anything else that can be uploaded?

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks

Hi

You mentioned that you arrived in Canada on a work permit along with your wife and baby who are on a visitor's visa. May I ask if the immigration officer didnt questioned you on why your family went along with you. I have already received my work visa and planned to tag along my family who are on a visitors visa also. Somebody told me that i would might have a hard time in the port of entry if we go all together. They are suggesting that we would fly one day apart. Your inputs are highly appreciated. Thank you

Unfortunately you can not apply for an extension of your work permit until your wife is able to get at least an noc B job, you will need to apply for a visitor visa so you can legally remain in Canada till your wife is able to get an noc B job
