Open work permit

[Native]

Hello! I have a question concerning sponsorship and openwork permit. I am from Canada and i married my husband who is from Ghana. I was wondering if I can apply for sponsorship and openwork permit at the same time., I have not yet mailed out the papers. If it is possible how long will it take? also is it better to just apply for sponsorship without open work permit? Please and thank you PMM

Hi there, yes, if you are both in Canada you can apply for PR and OWP at the same time. That is the Inland application. He might get the OWP in 5 months the most but usually much less. Each case is different.
