OWP Denied! Bakit? | Spousal Sponsorship | Canada Immigration

Your Open Work Permit was denied — and the checklist said you had everything. So what went wrong? 🤔 In this episode, we break down one overlooked reason OWP applications get refused: failing to prove that you live at the same address as your sponsor. And the worst part? IRCC's own checklist doesn't clearly tell you this. 📌 KEY TAKEAWAY: The OWP for spousal/common-law sponsorship applicants comes from a temporary public policy — NOT standard IRCC regulations. That means the requirements live in the policy document itself, not the application checklist. One of those requirements: you and your sponsor must share the same residential address at the time of application. ✅ Accepted proof of same address: Lease agreement (both names) Utility bills Bank statements Government mail ❓ Already denied? You may still be able to reapply — but you need to fix the situation first (gather proof, then submit a new application). ⚠️ IRCC is cracking down. Don't rely on the checklist alone — always read the underlying policy. --- 📞 Need help with your immigration case?
