Hi everyone,
My spouse (common-law partner): Hold PGWP until 2027/01
Me: Hold PGWP until 2025/04
We applied for Spouse open work permit but got rejected few days ago with reason: insufficient to prove we are common-law.
We are preparing more proofs and re-apply again soon
The thing is my PGWP will expire on 2025/04. I have questions related to result of application
- Scene 1: If I got rejected again after 2025/04, what should I do? Can I apply again? (I don’t want to leave Canada)
If I can apply again, after 2025/04 will I be in applied status? Can I work as normal
FYI: Both my spouse and I have TEER1 full-time jobs now
Please advise what should I do in each situation? Thanks
Last time, We provided:
- Common law declaration
- Rental Lease together ( > 1 year)
- Driver license same address
- Bank statements same address
- Joint bank account ( > 1 year)
This time, we gonna provide more proofs:
- Insurance with beneficiary
- Our couple photos (with friends and family)
- Tax CRA documents
What else you advise to provide this time to prove our relationship?
- Driver license same address ( > 1 year with 2 addresses since we moved)
- Bank statements same address ( > 1 year with 2 addresses since we moved)
- Tax CRA documents (For 2023 Tax)
- Insurance with beneficiary (since 2024/08)
- Driver license same address ( > 1 year with 2 addresses since we moved) - the same address more than 1 year ?
- Bank statements same address is not a joint account.
- Tax CRA documents showing same address is not enough. Did you declare your marital status?
- Insurance with beneficiary is not relevant this case.
So far you show only the same address, not common law relationship.
- Driver license same address ( > 1 year with 2 addresses since we moved) - the same address more than 1 year ?
- Bank statements same address is not a joint account.
- Tax CRA documents showing same address is not enough. Did you declare your marital status?
- Insurance with beneficiary is not relevant this case.
So far you show only the same address, not common law relationship.
- Driver license same address (total of 2 driver license is more than 1 year, the current address we just moved from 2024/03)
- Personal Bank statements and joint account has same address
- Tax CRA documents with common law status declaration
- Joint bank account: what do you mean with “really joint bank account”, what should we prove in joint bank account (we submitted the bank statements of joint bank account)
- CRA: We have notice of assessment (like OTB, GST…) declares as Marital Status
- Utilities: we don’t pay utilities as Landlord included all in rent
