Open work permit

[visitorcanada3097]

Hi, I'm from the Phillipines.
I entered here in Canada as a visitors visa last December 2018

And I'm Planning to change my status into OWP and my dependant is my mother, but she doesn't have her PR yet. Will I be consider to apply or I'm I eligible to apply for OWP?

My mother will be my sponsor

 

[k.h.p.]

I don't believe you are eligible for the spouse and common-law partner OWP. Is there an OWP available for children being sponsored?

Eligibility requirements if you apply from inside Canada
You can only apply for a work permit from inside Canada if:

• you have a valid study or work permit
• your spouse, common-law partner or parents have a valid study or work permit
• you’ve graduated from a program at a:
  • Canadian university
  • community college
  • CÉGEP
  • publicly funded trade/technical school, or
  • other eligible school
• you have a temporary resident permit that is valid for six months or more
• you’re waiting on a decision on an application for permanent residence from inside Canada
• you made or will make a claim for refugee protection
• you’ve been recognized as a convention refugee or protected person by the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada
• you’re allowed to work in Canada without a work permit but you need a work permit to work in a different job, or
• you’re a trader, investor, intra-company transferee or professional under NAFTA

it states here but im still confused

 

[k.h.p.]

So if your mom has a valid study or work permit (a PR is better than that) you may be able to apply.

Are you under 22?

 

[k.h.p.]

For the visitor extension, no.

For the work permit, yes.

Seriously, the answers are all on the CIC page. You should look: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/biometrics.asp

 

[visitorcanada3097]

For the visitor extension, no.

For the work permit, yes.

yes im only 21 but will be 22 this may

 

[k.h.p.]

CIC's website says you do not need to for a visitor extension, but you do need to give biometrics for a work permit application. And you will need to leave Canada to do so.

 

[jddd]

yes im only 21 but will be 22 this may

has your mother sent in her pr application? At 22, you are no longer a dependent.
