Open work permit for husband

[SukhmaniKaur23]

I am a canadian PR holder and my Fiance is currently in India. We will be applying for his PR once we get married. I know for a fact that spousal PR process time is more than 10 months. However during that time will he still be able to come to canada on an open work permit? Can we apply for his PR and Open work permit both at the same time after marriage? Since I know work permit processing times are way lower than PR processing times.

He will only qualify for an open work permit if he comes to Canada on a TRV and then you sponsor him from within Canada (inland process) and include an open work permit with the inland sponsorship application. If you sponsor him and he is in Inida, he will not qualify for an open work permit.

So will he have to stay in Canada till the time he receives the permit? Can you provide me a link to some website that can help me look at the entire process? Also side by side I will be able to apply for his PR application right?

You must both be in Canada in order for him to qualify for the open work permit. You must submit the inland spousal sponsorship application along with the OWP application. You cannot apply just for the open work permit. Yes, he must remain in Canada while the application is processed. It will take 4-5 months from the time the complete application is submitted to get the open work permit approved.
