Open Work Permit Application for Spouse Sponsorship..Paper or Online?

[KuroNeko26]

I was browsing the CIC website and noticed that it said as of June 4th 2019 that work permit applications must be submitted online. I haven't submitted my PR spouse sponsorship application yet and I was wondering if I submit it online after I mail out application or do I still print it out and include it in my paper application? Thank you in advance!

Same here! We're hopefully sending our application next week!

I'm thinking if this was true they would release an updated version IMM5533 to reflect this? It still has the option to say you're also including an OWP application. Will wait for a more experienced member to weigh in though

Yes i noticed that as well! Based on the checklist I'm /assuming/ you still print it out in paper and include it with the application. Good luck on your application when you send it out! We're sending out ours next month

The OWP must still be printed out and included with the inland PR app. Only those with AIP, which is received near the end of the process, can apply for the OWP online.
