Hi, guys, I am working on the inland spousal sponsorship application for my wife. And off course we also apply for the SOWP (there's the main reason why we choose inland).

But I am so confused how it should be done.
1, Is the application form IMM5710e ?

2,IF it is, how to choose in question 3:

(I am applying for one or more of the following:
A work permit with the same employer
An initial work permit or a work permit with new employer
restoration of your status as a worker
Temporary resident permit)

I thought only "Temporary resident permit"fit? because my wife never worked in Canada, but when chose it, it is requested that I have to choose the first option"A work permit with the same employer" too.

And is this form ( which we will send with the sponsorship application to CIC) the only I need to apply for the work permit for my wife?

Thank you so much for reading my questions. :) :)

Hi

1. Yes, IMM5710 is the correct form.

2. Select "An initial work permit". Do not select the TRP option.

Hi,
I will come to Canada on a Visitor Visa soon. I will apply for Inland spousal sponsorship along with OWP. I have a question regarding the same.

Do we need to mention 'To' date for current activity/occupation? Can I be on leave from work for a foreign employer when I file the application? Any help would be really appreciated..

Also do we have any link or document which says person who is applying for OWP should not hold any current employment?

Initial work permit.
Thank you for your reply.
Even though this is an extension for her current spouse open work permit, we still have to choose Initial work permit? Can you please just explain a little bit?

Generic form, generic option. None of the other options apply.
