Apply for spausal sponsor while implied status

[ignacioguzman]

Hi there,

I am a student that just graduated and I am applying for a PGWP. I skipped one semester due to a collapsed lung so there is a possibility that the permit might be refused. All in all me and my wife also considered for a long time applying for a spausal sponsorship and we are days away of finishing the app.

My question is; Is it possible to send the spausal application while I am transitioning from student to pgwp with “implied status”. And, if I were to apply and mid application, my pgwp was refused, What would happend to the spausal application?

My status is still valid but will definitely expire before I have a decision on the PGWP.

Thanks a lot if you had time to respond!

You have to wait for PGWP before you can apply for spouse open work permit.

You have to wait. You need be employed in a NOC A,B or 0 job, submit employment letter, have at least 3 pays stubs and then you can apply for SOWP.

If the principal foreign worker is the holder of an open work permit (for example, a post-graduation work permit or a working holiday work permit), IRCC cannot assess the skill level based only on the open work permit, and the spouse or common-law partner applying for the C41 exemption will need to attach proof that the principal worker is employed in an occupation in skill type 0 or skill level A or B.

The spousal applicant should submit all the supporting documents, including

• a letter from the principal foreign worker’s current employer confirming employment or a copy of their employment offer or contract; and
• a copy of the principal foreign worker’s last 3 pay slips.
