Hi everyone,
Me and my wife came to Canada in 2021, as students. We were unmarried in 2021. We have been dating since 2016. My wife is a pharmacist from our home country. She opted for a somewhat relevant field, but eventually it did not interest her, she had to switch to two more programs, before finally deciding to just stick to get a pharmacist license in Canada. Our priorities shifted, we got married, we applied for her work permit, where I was the principal applicant(student) through a representative. The representative suggested that she can drop her studies, and can work because she had a submission confirmation that allowed her to work until a decision was made.
Now here our representative messed up, our rep asked to to submit the application fee, which we did. But towards the expiry of her submission confirmation duration, the rep told us that there needs to be extra payment made, or the application would be rejected. Long story short, the rep initially paid the wrong fee, and when we finally paid the right fee, before it got processed, we got a rejection. The reason was that we did not pay the fee.
My wife re-enrolled in her college again to maintain her status(she has a valid study permit). Now that I will be getting my PGWP soon, we are planning to go to the border to get her the SOWP. Because we need to balance our finances, we have our financial responsibilities in our home country too. Preparing for pharmacy license does not require any study permit in its initial stages. It is done at home by ourselves.
Will there be any problem at the border? She was never out of status since she came to canada. But due to our shifted priorities, we took this decision. We will soon be going back to our home country to do ceremonies with the rest of the family.
