Hi! I am applying for PR and an OWP, my common law partner is my sponsor.
I recently went to an immigration lawyer for a consultation and she gave me all the documents that i needed. This included
IMM5589 Document checklist
IMM1344 Application to Sponsor
IMM0008 Generic Application
IMM5669 Schedule A
IMM5406 Family Information
Common law declaration
IMM5710- OWP
What im really wondering is alot of people in this forum are saying they had a document checklist specifically for the Open work permit. The lawyer never mentioned anything about any other Document checklist except for IMM5589. Can anyone give me a run down of ALL the documents i need for not only the Open Work Permit but also the PR from inside of Canada, Im from the states and my common law partner is my sponsor

Hey thank you for the response! Just curious if you know which of these applications we both (sponsor and principle applicant) have to fill out our own?
Only the Principal Applicant needs to fill the forms for the Open Work Permit, I filled the imm5710, imm5475 and the checklist imm5556.

I'm not so sure that those are the formats for the Open Work Permit, in my case I sent this ones in the package. I obtained them from the page I quoted before.

-Document Checklist [IMM 5556]
-Application to Change Conditions, Extend my Stay or Remain in Canada as a Worker
Statutory


I do not know if it is your case, if they are not legally married they must also send

Declaration of Common-Law Union [IMM 5409]

If you are using a representative or an attorney, you must fill out this as well.

Use of a Representative [IMM 5476]

It also included a photocopy of the following documents

Receipt of payment for the open work permit
Passport
Marriage certificate
