Hello,

I am just wondering if everyone here had submitted a checklist for an OWP when submitting the PR application. The detailed guideline shows as below:

Can my spouse or partner work in Canada?
If your spouse or common-law partner already has a work permit, they may continue to work as long as the permit is valid.

If your spouse or common-law partner is living in Canada with you and is applying as a member of the Spouse or Common-Law Partner in Canada class, they can also apply for an open work permit when they apply for permanent residence. They must include a completed Application to Change Conditions, Extend my Stay or Remain in Canada as a Worker form [IMM 5710] (PDF, 484.21KB) and the correct fee, explaining that they are applying for an open work permit.

For more instructions, see Extend or change the conditions on your work permit. You can’t apply online.

See the Help Centre for information about Open work permits for spouses and partners.

Note: If you’re applying under the Spouse or Common-Law Partner in Canada class and you’ve submitted an application for an open work permit, your work permit will normally be processed within four months.


I only enclosed the Application (IMM5710) and now wonder if the checklist for OWP also needed to be sent. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

If you are sending you OWP application along with your sponsorship application then you do not need to send OWP checklist.

I hope this will help.

Now that you’ve finished preparing your application, you can submit it for processing. You should do the following:

  1. Place a copy of the checklist on top of your complete application package. This will help make sure the application can be processed as quickly as possible when it arrives in our office.
  2. If you’re applying under the Spouse or Common-Law Partner in Canada class and the person you’re sponsoring is also applying for an open work permit, after the checklist, place:
    • the work permit application form and documents (if applicable) and
    • a separate fee payment receipt for the cost of the work permit application
  3. The order of documents should be as follows:
    • checklist;
    • open work permit application (and supporting documents), if applicable;
    • any barcode pages;
    • supporting documents, in the order they are listed on the checklist.

I just received the application completed letter. It said Vancouver office will contact me for the landing appointment. Does anyone know if there’s a deadline for paying the RFPR fee? Do they usually tell you how many days they need to receive payment by?

Yeah I got the same letter just now.
This is what written in the letter...
We are pleased to advise you that processing of your application has been completed. The Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada office in Kitchener IRCC will contact you to arrange an appointment for the finalization of your permanent resident application.
IMPORTANT: You and your family members, if any, will be required to present original identification document(s) to the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada office at your appointment. A final decision concerning the granting of permanent residence status will be made at that time. If permanent residence is granted, the name that will appear on the confirmation of permanent resident document is your name as it appears on your passport or identity documents.


Is this the landing interview invitation???

I paid the RPRF upfront but I am wondering if I have to submit the receipt that shows that I paid $1040 at the beginning.
