2 months is not guaranteed and you cannot look for a job during this time which is the problem. If IRCC really wanted to address the labour shortage, they would have given OWP directly instead of TRV to outland spouses, they could start working immediately after landing instead of doing nothing.
They have always done this for spouses of temporary residents, why cant they do this for spouses of permanent residents? Whatever their reason, this policy is stupid AF and makes no sense.
hi, could you please share your wife's experience with Immigration officer? What questions were asked and what was her reply ? My spouse is travelling on Aug 2nd. Thanks for your inputsMy wife landed yesterday, later that evening I submitted a webform to update her address, phone number and ask for virtual landing once there is a final decision.
Today I took her to do the upfront medical, then applied for Open Work Permit, I also submitted webform on our sponsorship to upload the IME# so when IRCC ask her to do medical exam it will be automatically updated on our file.
Not sure when she will receive her work permit, but we have done everything we can now to get closer to our final goals which are PR and her being able to apply for SIN and find job in Canada.

my wife got lucky because no CBSA officer asked her anything, she got off the plane, picked up her luggage and then went out the gate without getting asked a single question.hi, could you please share your wife's experience with Immigration officer?
