Hi, I've just applied for PGWP and I'm trying to apply for my wife's work permit
I kinda heard that processing pgwp alone takes shorter processing time so, I applied mine alone
and I'm now trying to apply for my wife's work permit
do I have to create my wife's account and make an application through it? or
is there a way that I can apply her work permit through my account?

thanks

1. Your spouse is not eligible for an SOWP until you have a job in NOC O, or A, or B.

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

Your permit will not be valid longer than your spouse’s work permit.


You also need to meet the general eligibility requirements for a work permit.

yea, thanks,
in order to apply for my wife's permit, do I have to make her account?
or is there a way that I can apply for her permit in my account?
