Open work permit for spouse on International Experience Canada visa?

[jirish82]

Hi guys,

I'm applying to Canada on an IEC visa, my partner wants to come too but it overs the age limit for an IEC. We weren't sure if it would be possible for him to come and work, as it generally states that spouses do not get a work permit on the IEC.

However, I've seen some mention of him being able to apply for a open work permit as a spouse, as long as I get a Skill Level 0, A or B job. Is that a possibility?

Thanks!
