Hi! My husband just got his closed work permit under NFL PNP program. My open work permit application was included in his. He got his work permit 2 days after we submitted the application. Mine is still pending. Any idea about how long it takes to receive my spousal open work permit? I’m outside Canada.

Job Offer........
Yes
My wife got her closed ICT work permit approved along with my open work permit. Now her employer has changed plans for sending her to Canada. I have been offered a job in Canada. Does anyone know if I can travel to Canada on my open work permit along with my employer's offer letter even if my wife is not traveling. My wife was main applicant on the original application.

Your wife needs to land first (or with you) with proof that she still has a job in Canada. That doesn’t seem to be the case.

I doubt that you have a open work permit in hand right now, nor your wife has a closed one. You might have a TRV on passport. You will get your WPs on airport from border sec. folks.

If her job offer is no longer valid, then she cann't get her WP. If she cann't get her WP, you don't get yours.

Canada tracks job offer linked to closed WP via an online system where employers enter the job offers for foreigners.

Hello,
To extend spouse work permit inside Canada, It must be required to have continuous NOC job while application is in process or Is it good as long as you have three pay stubs of required NOC job for application?

Hello,

I hope someone can help me here.. I am a CEC Express entry applicant our file is in process from Aug 2020. My husband applied for a spousal open work permit he got his work permit approved today. He works in US and has a canadian visitors visa TRV already.

Can he enter Canada with his
- passport,
- the approval letter of work permit
- visitors visa which he already has?

or we need to apply for a new TRV for him? Please if anyone can help here would be great!
I tried calling CIC but they didn't say anything just we don't know and borders are closed
