Service Description

The Canada Spouse Open Work Permit is a special type of work permit issued to the spouses or common-law partners of temporary foreign workers or international students in Canada. This permit allows them to work in Canada while their partner or spouse holds a valid temporary work or study permit. To be eligible for a Canada Spouse Open Work Permit, you must meet the following criteria: 1. Valid Sponsorship: Your spouse or common-law partner must have legal status in Canada as either a temporary foreign worker or an international student with a valid permit. 2. Inland or Outland Sponsorship: You may be eligible for the open work permit whether your spouse or partner is sponsored as an inland or outland applicant. 3. Application Stage: The open work permit is available at various stages of the spousal sponsorship process, such as while your sponsorship application is being processed, during the initial application submission, or after your sponsorship has been approved. 4. Residence in Canada: You must be physically present in Canada when applying for the open work permit. If you are outside Canada, you may need to apply for a regular work permit through the appropriate immigration channels. Application Process: To apply for a Canada Spouse Open Work Permit, you need to follow these steps: 1. Complete the Application Forms: Fill out the required application forms accurately and provide the necessary supporting documents as specified by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). 2. Pay the Fees: Pay the required processing fees for your work permit application. The fees may vary, so it is essential to check the IRCC website for the most up-to-date information. 3. Submit the Application: Submit your completed application along with the supporting documents and fees to the appropriate IRCC office or visa application center. 4. Wait for Processing: After submitting your application, you will have to wait for the processing time, which can vary. It is advisable to regularly check the IRCC website for updates on processing times. Additional Information: - The Canada Spouse Open Work Permit is usually valid for the same duration as the spouse or partner's study or work permit. - This work permit does not require a job offer and allows the holder to work anywhere in Canada. - The open work permit also allows the spouse or partner to change employers without requiring a new work permit.
