Hi everyone,
My husband is on a Temporary Work Permit in Canada.
I travelled to my home country after staying in Canada for 10 months in Feb. My spouse was supposed to travel in March and got stuck working in Canada due to the pandemic.
Now there are restrictions on people entering the country. I have a TRV.
As the rules of exemption apply only to the spouses of PR holders, is there any possibility of the spouses of Temporary Work Permit holders allowed to enter upon requesting.
Because it justifies family reunification too.
Any inputs would be of great help.
Thanks !
Hi Vamsi05. You have to e-mail IRCC to request written authorization to come to Canada. Please read the section of this website entitled Reuniting with an immediate family member who is in Canada temporarily.

Hey, sorry for the late reply.
No I didnt leave my home country yet. We are trying to get authorization from IRCC.
Were you able to get the letter from IRCC? If yes, in how many days ?

I travelled to Canada during this pandemic. My husband is a Temporary skilled worker here and I was stuck in the UK. I contacted the Canadian Embassy to get a Travel Exemption letter, however, if I had it all over again, I wouldn't have travelled.
In the UK I was able to work and earn money, whereas, when I landed in Canada I applied for Spousal Open Work Permit at the airport, which I couldn't get because my travel exemption letter stated that the purpose of me travelling was to "reunite with my husband" and not to work. So I was issued with a 6 months visitor visa and told to apply for SOWP online. I have done that but with biometrics closed, I haven't been able to get work visa yet. It has been nearly 4 months with no income for me, which is very frustrating, especially as we found Canada to be more expensive than the UK.
