We do miss our loved ones more when we are away from them and help you out Canadian government had introduced a Spouse Visa program wherein residents of Canada or citizens of Canada can sponsor their spouse from other nation to migrate to Canada. The applicant and their spouse must be married and show the genuine intention to live together in Canada. But unfortunately this was a pilot program which was supposed to come to a halt.
But again Canadian government has given good news for all the foreign nationals who are applying for Canadian immigration under the spouse visa category as the pilot program has been extended till December 22nd, 2016. Under this pilot program, the applicants were provided with an open work permit also while their application is under process. This comes as a relief for many applicants who couldn’t process their application during the initial session.
Inorder to be eligible for the spouse visa program, the applicant needs to submit a permanent residence application under Spouses or Common-Law Partners in Canada class (SCLPC), a Canadian citizen or permanent resident need to submit a sponsorship application, the applicant needs to stay at the same residence where the sponsor resides and the applicant must be having a temporary or student or worker visa.
Canadian government has also mentioned that if the applicant has already submitted the application for permanent residence under the Spouse visa for Canada immigration program and haven’t yet applied for the open work permit then the applicant can complete the open work permit application by paying the appropriate fee. Moreover, if the applicant has already received approval for the permanent residency status and the medical, security and backgrounds checks are still remaining then the applicant can make online open work permit application. If any applicant is working under the open work permit condition which was applied on him/her in the earlier session can apply for his/her permit extension before the expiry of his current open work permit. If anyone is interested to apply for the spouse visa program then he/she needs to apply for the open work permit simultaneously.
