Hello everyone,
I know this might be already discussed here, but I couldn't locate the thread and the rules have changed a little over the last few months(I guess so) so wanted to start a new thread for Spousal Open Work Permit
My current situation : I'm originally from India. I have a 3 year open work permit which is about to expire in Dec 2016. I have finished my masters in Canada and have been working for a little under 2 years now.
I am planning to get my registered marriage done in Nov 2014 and help my spouse apply for a Spousal Open Work Permit in November. I want to bring her along with me to Canada whenever we get married next year(probably around Feb 2015 as per rituals, yada yada in a big expensive way
). I am choosing to get her along with me on a Open Work Permit in Feb 2015, as opposed to choosing the PR sponsorship route which takes around 13 months for her to get the landed status and travel to Canada.
I have recently applied for the PR under CEC class and carefully done so, so that I do not get my PR until Sep 2015, which gives me enough time to get her here on SOWP.
This is what i found which is relevant to my question - http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/india-inde/visas/checklist-workpermit-permis_de_travail-liste.aspx
Application package - http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/work.asp
Can someone please confirm if I'm looking at the right link. thank you !
If someone replies to this, I can followup with some further questions. Thanks for your time and help is appreciated !
Cheers,
M
