SOWP

[Dana777]

Hey all,

My wife has a PGWP and she is currently working in a skilled occupation and already got the first 3 paystubs.
Therefore, I am now applying for the Spouse Open Work Permit.
I will add that I had an OWP while she was a student but after her graduation, I changed my status to Visitor as required.

Now, I am wondering if I will be able to start working full-time while waiting for a decision on my OWP application? or I will have to wait for my application to get approved?

Thanks!
