SOWP REFUSAL

[Dksha]

I got my SOWP refused, the reason stated was :

My spouse is a Canadian PR holder and does not have a valid work permit.

I had applied through an agent and he said that the rule has changed, I am clueless.
What can I do in this case?

If he is a PR holder then he has applied to sponsor you. Is it inland or outland?

Yes he is a PR holder. We spoke to another consultant he said we applied for the wrong visa. We should have applied for dependent visa and not SOWP.

Now we are confused if I apply for dependent visa will I be allowed to work on that

You don't qualify for an open work permit. Your spouse needs to sponsor you for PR first.

The immigration lawyer told us about dependent visa, is this program and PR same. The Ircc website has very confusing content. I am not able to get a clear picture.

This is wrong.

You do not qualify for an open work permit. Do not apply again. You will just be refused again.

Once again, your spouse needs to submit the application to sponsor you for PR first.

Are you in Canada? Either way your spouse must apply to sponsor you for PR first. It is either inland or outland.

No I am in India and will be applying from here. Will the previous rejection affect the new application?

No issue as long as you declare the refusal in the sponsorship application.

Also if I apply for the family sponsorship program will I be allowed to work?

You are outland so you can work once you have PR. Do you have a TRV?
