Around 5-6 months right now.

I assume you have submitted an inland spousal sponsorship application along with the open work permit.

Thanks for always being so helpful.
Actually i have not applied yet. But this is case for my child. She wants to get married to someone on international student visa. If marraige is done here in canada, next step is to apply open work permit ? Any thats taking how long ?
5 to 6 months ??
I need to know what can be complications or process in this case.
Thanks again

No - next step after marriage is to apply for spousal sponsorship through the inland process. The open work permit is included with the sponsorship application. You can't apply for the open work permit alone.

Yes, you should expect approval of the open work permit will take 5-6 months.

You should stay in school as a full time student until the open work permit is approved.

Thanks so much for the info.
I am bit skeptical as a mom. Do you think it would be better that a boy on international student visa does marraige outside canada and than declare inland marraige here in court or civic centre .
Or it is better he just do it here.
My daughter is citizen and we are here but boy family is back home.
What is more easy and fast in terms of processing spousal application.
