Hello
I am currently on an IEC work permit ending on March 20th, 2021. I am married and am ALMOST ready to send off my application for PR, through the SCLPC (Spousal Sponsorship) program. I am in currently in Canada and I am simultaneously applying for an Open Work Permit, to continue working while my PR application is being processed.
On the IMM 5556 form (Document checklist for the Open Work Permit application), it says the following:
"If you are a participant in the International Experience Canada (IEC) program, provide proof of health insurance covering the intended extension to your stay in Canada."
Do I need to buy health insurance and send evidence of it with my OWP application? I currently am involved in the IEC program, but am not applying for the IEC.
Any help would be kindly appreciated
