Just updating my timeline. Today I got an open work permit for 3 years:

Applied on January 1, 2024 - Inside Canada, Gaining Experience ( 6 Months work experience at that time). Family of 4. One is non accompanying.
April 19,2024- AOR and Biometric Letter
June 26,2024- Proof of Work Updated via WebForm with NOA and T4
July 31,2024- Medical Letter Request, police clearance for my husband.
September 10, 2024 Medical Passed
September 10,2024- We are reviewing the additional docs that you provided (I provided Police Clearance of my husband)
September 12, 2025- Pre Arrival Letter
September 15, 2025 - Eligibility PASSED
September 17, 2025- Open Work Permit (valid for 3 years)

Looks like my case is different from others. Even though I have over 1 year work experience as a child care provider in Canada (I have T4 and NOA for 2023 and 2024), I still need to work for over 6 months from today (Sept 17, 2025) to be able to submit the work experience in stage 2. My first visa was open work permit being the spouse of a person with Student Visa.
