The principal foreign worker must meet 4 requirements:

  1. They work in Canada with 1 of the following:
    • a valid work permit (employer-specific or open under a non-spousal category)
    • an authorization to work without a work permit (exception: family members of students who can work off campus or who are transitioning to PGWP are not eligible)
  2. Their work permit or their authority to work without a work permit must be valid in Canada for at least 6 months after the family member’s open work permit application is received.
  3. They’re employed in a low-skilled occupation (TEER 4 or 5 of the National Occupation Classification system) at the time of the family members’ application.
  4. They’re living or plan to live in Canada while working.
