Open work permit for my boyfriend

[Stefanis]

Hi everyone,

I am currently in Canada on a student visa (post grad) and my boyfriend (of 8+ years) will visit me on a tourist visa. If we marry here, does that mean he can apply for open work permit from Canada, or would he have to leave Canada when his tourist visa expires and apply for it from his home country?

I would be grateful for any help.
Thank you!

Me and my girlfriend are in exact same situation. Could you point us to the place where we can find which documents do we need to prepare for the marriage and open work permit application?
Thanks!

Hi I am Emghie from Philippines, I already started my application for work permit in Canada but the job that I am applying it is a low job skill.
I am planning to bring my common law partner with me in Canada, but as per our regulated consultant since my job is tier 4 or low job skill,
my common law partner can't able to accompany me to Canada as the government didn't approve yet. We live together for more than 2 years now.
Do you have any idea how long my common partner will wait to come in Canada since he is already on my application?
