Spousal

[Jha06]

Good Day! Just want ask.

My Boyfriend and I are planning to get married. He is living currently and in Ottawa and has a closed work permit job. And I am here in the province as PR. Can I sponsor him to get OWP or he needs to resign first before applying?

Thanks

He can apply without resigning and work until end of his current work permit - and apply for open work permit (after getting AOR). When he gets the open work permit, he can keep working for the same company or change jobs at will.
