A man missing his wife, in need of advice.

[NolanRutters88]

Hello everyone. I have a bit of a complicated question, but first let me give you a quick rundown on my current situation. My wife is currently working in Canada on an open work permit as a freelance video editor (NOC A) and has been for the past two months, working roughly 40 hours a week. She has not been offered a contract nor has a termination date been given to her. Meanwhile I am on the other side of the world in South Africa as I am an SA citizen with an SA passport and therefore do not qualify for an open work permit, unless I apply through my spouse who obtained an OWP as she has a British passport and was under the age of 31 when it was issued. From my understanding, my wife needs a FULL TIME job under NOC O, A or B. So here's my question: could the IRCC be persuaded that her current employment, although not officially permanent, meets all the criteria to be considered a full time job allowing me to apply for a spousal work permit?
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. TIA!

Hi

The job doesn't need to be full-time.

These are the required supporting documentation. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/apply-who-permit-result.asp?q1_options=1i&q2_options=2d

If your spouse has an open work permit (e.g. post-graduation work permit), you must attach a copy of your spouse’s work permit to your application for an open work permit, along with:

• a letter from your spouse’s current employer that confirms they work there in a NOC 0, A or B occupation, or a copy of your spouse’s employment offer or contract, and
• a copy of your spouse’s recent pay slips.
