Dear Friends,

I am confused with 2 things. Temporary Resident Visa - TRV & Spouse Open Work Permit - SOWP

My Question is:

If a person's SOWP Application is approved (Suppose , Applicant is from India) then can he directly travel to Canada with only his SOWP Approved Document.? Is only SOWP is enough to travel to Canada & Work?

Or After his SOWP approved then he has to apply for his Temporary Residence Visa?

Thanks & Best Regards

Applied SOWP March 2nd Rejected on April 14th. Reason not enough proof provided to satisfy legitimate marriage.

Applied again with marriage photos, join bank statement sfor SOWP on April 17th at Abu Dhabi
Upfront Medical
Medical Passed mid July.
Work Permit PPR Nov 2nd

Took over 6.5 Months

Dear Brother,

I have a doubt, In your case now CIC requested for PPR, now on the passport CIC will stamp your TRV or OWP?

Thanks & Best Regards

Hello,

Did you receive back your Passport after you submit your passport.

Actually after PPR what CIC do ?

Question 1) CIC Issue the TRV - Temporary Residence Visa as worker?
Question 2) CIIC issue the SOWP?
Question 3) CIC issue both TRV & SOWP?

Which one is correct?

Thanks & Best Regards

Hi info78

CIC will stamp TRV on passport and when you land in Canada , the immigration officer will provide OWP

Info78,

TRV is the visa which will be stamped on your passport, SOWP is a sheet of paper which will be separate from your passport but you must always keep it with you when you'll cross the border to leave Canada for somewhere, without SOWP you cannot re-enter to Canada.
