Spouse Open Work Permit
Spouses or common-law partners of full-time students with a valid study permit may apply for an open work permit. An open work permit will enable the spouse or common-law partner of the international student to work. Your spouse/partner will not require a job offer to apply, and his/her permit will be valid for the same period as your study permit. This is an excellent way for your spouse or your common-law partner to connect with the local community, gain valuable work experience and earn extra money. Your spouse or your common-law partner can apply for a work permit after you arrive to Canada. It is also possible to apply for the spouse/common-law partner work permit at the same time as applying for your initial study permit outside of Canada. Your minor child/children may also study without a study permit at the preschool, primary, or secondary level. Please note children accompanying an adult who is in Canada on a work or study permit may study in Canada without a study permit at the pre-school, primary and secondary levels. Please note Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) require that applicants submit government application processing fees for most of applications.
The Express Entry involves two steps: 1. Complete an online Express Entry profile, be placed in pool of candidates and 2. Receive invitation to apply for permanent residence from IRCC. Candidates in the pool are ranked using a point-based system (CRS). Getting into Express Entry doesn’t guarantee invitation to apply, since applicants have to meet all eligible and admissibility requirements. Upon entering the pool, candidates are assigned a CRS score based on factors including education, work experience, language ability, and other criteria. Highest-ranking candidates are regularly selected from draw and invited to apply for permanent residence. Results and previous rounds of invitations can be found here.
A Spouse Open Work Permit is a type of work permit that allows the spouse or common-law partner of a foreign national who is in the host country on a specific type of visa (such as a student or worker visa) to work in the country as well. Here are key points regarding Spouse Open Work Permits:
Eligibility: Generally, the spouse or common-law partner of a foreign national with a valid work or study permit may be eligible for a Spouse Open Work Permit. Eligibility criteria can vary, and it’s important to check the specific regulations of the host country’s immigration system.
Application Process: The application process for a Spouse Open Work Permit usually involves submitting the required documentation, including proof of the relationship, the primary applicant’s valid work or study permit, and other supporting documents. The application is typically made before the spouse enters the country or shortly after their arrival.
Work Opportunities: Once issued, the Spouse Open Work Permit allows the spouse or common-law partner to work for any employer in the host country. The permit may be valid for the same duration as the primary applicant’s work or study permit.
Duration: The validity period of the Spouse Open Work Permit is often linked to the expiration date of the primary applicant’s work or study permit. Renewal or extension may be possible if the primary applicant’s status is extended.
Dependent Children: In some cases, dependent children may also be eligible for certain benefits, such as being able to study without a study permit or access education at the primary or secondary level.
