Work Permit from TRV

[ralo_01]

Hi All,

I want to apply for Work-permit for my spouse, she is currently in Canada with me on Visitor's visa. How can I do that, I am working here and my job is in Class level B.

Should I apply for "Change Conditions or Extend Your Stay in Canada as a Worker" or should I apply for a normal Work-permit (online). Or are these two the same?

Please help.

Thanks

She can apply for an Open Work Permit by virtue of you having a job under NOC Class B. You could use the online application as she is in-country already. She needs to create her own MyCIC account to login and apply online.

She'd have to use the option to change conditions of her stay in Canada.

Thanks ragluf, I just read that ,

I can see the required documents for changing the conditions, it says proof of financial support, can I provide my bank statement and paystub as a proof of financial support?

Cheers,

Yes. Note she is the one applying - so she should do the online application - not you applying for her. But the proof of financial support plus a copy of your WP are supporting her application. Payslips, bank statement, plus your T4 (if available) should be enough proof of financial support.
General rule of thumb I use is add anything strengthens the application (i.e. - my WP plus a letter of employment from my company - attesting my job and position and length of tenure - plus payslips, T4s and bank statements). Would not hurt...
