Spousal Open Work Permit Pilot To Become Permanent

Canada is making the Open Work Permit Pilot (OWPP) a permanent program, so the spouses and common-law partners of Canadians can continue to work while waiting on their permanent resident status.

The OWPP applies to inland spousal and custom-based law sponsorship candidates. Inland sponsorship is for couples who are as of now living respectively in Canada.

In order to be eligible for an OWPP, immigration candidates need to meet the following requirements:

People applying under the OWPP can submit the work permit application at the same time as their application for permanent residence.
It is also OK to submit the application for the OWPP separately if applicants have already submitted their application for permanent residence.
If applicants have already received approval in principle on their permanent residence application, they can apply for the OWPP online. Approval in principle means the spouse or partner has received a letter from IRCC stating that they meet the permanent residence eligibility requirements, but they have not yet passed the medical, security, and background checks.
People who already have the OWPP must apply to extend their permits before they expire.
