The Situation And The Goal

Tanveer’s objective was to join his spouse in Canada with legal status and the flexibility to work for any eligible employer. Like most SOWP applicants, the key to success depended on presenting the relationship and eligibility clearly, with strong supporting documentation.

The Common Challenges In SOWP Applications

Many SOWP refusals happen due to documentation gaps or unclear evidence, not necessarily because an applicant is ineligible. Common issues include:

  • Weak or incomplete relationship proof
  • Missing status documents for the spouse in Canada
  • Inconsistent timelines in forms, letters, or supporting records
  • Insufficient financial and settlement clarity
  • Applications that do not address officer concerns proactively

Our Case Strategy

Our approach focused on a compliance-first, evidence-based submission. We ensured that the application was complete, consistent, and aligned with current requirements. The file was prepared with clear documentation and a structured presentation of facts, including:

  • A complete eligibility review based on the spouse’s status in Canada
  • Strong relationship documentation with continuity evidence
  • Accurate forms, supporting letters, and a clean document flow
  • Verification of key details to avoid inconsistencies and omissions

Approval Outcome

Result: Spousal Open Work Permit Approved

Approval Date: August 05, 2025

This approval allowed Tanveer to reunite with his spouse in Canada and hold an open work permit that provides flexibility to work without being tied to a single employer.
