Hi,
I have my Ontario PNP approved and my Federal part of PR application is in process. It is under the regular process and not under express entry system. I am currently on open work permit in Canada. I plan to get married to my girlfriend in India in January 2016, and plan to add my spouse to my pending PR application soon after I come back to Canada after my wedding.. While I am in India, after my wedding, I plan to apply for her open work permit under the spousal open work permit (dependent visa) category.
How does it work? Can one apply for spouse open work permit while having that person as part of the pending PR application? Also, do you think if it is wise to apply for her work permit before I add her name on my PR application, i.e., in January in my case as I plan to add her to my PR application in Feb? At the time of submitting her work permit application, is it mandatory to let the CIC know that my PR application is already in process?
