Refused Spousal Open Work Permit? Don’t Let a Visa Denial Break Your Family Plan
A refusal of a Spousal Open Work Permit (SOWP) can be emotionally and financially distressing. For many couples, this visa allows one partner to work while the other studies or works in a host country — enabling families to stay together and build a life abroad. When such a permit is denied, it doesn’t just disrupt a legal process — it affects your family’s unity, plans, and peace of mind.
At Vale & Co International Legal Service, we understand both the legal and personal weight of a refusal like this. We help couples navigate the complex visa landscape with clarity, compassion, and strong legal strategies.
Why Spousal Work Permits Are Often Refused
🔍 The genuineness of the relationship between the applicant and their spouse
📄 Insufficient documentation proving marriage or common-law status
🛑 Doubts about the applicant’s intent to leave the country after the permit expires
💼 Lack of clarity regarding the sponsor’s immigration status (e.g., international student, skilled worker)
❗ Errors, inconsistencies, or missing information in the original application
