No. You may either apply for your OWP with you husband when he applies for his SP OR you may apply for visitor visa with him and then FROM Canada (not at airport) apply for OWP.

u can choose to apply either however u will still need the same documentation and proof of funds. yes some people have asked for open work permit at the POE and got one . if u choose to apply for TRV and get it then there is no harm in asking at POE for OWP if not u can apply for one from within canada.

Dear all,

Could you please anybody suggest me regarding 'open work permit - proof of funds'

My wife went to Canada on work-permit on behalf of her company (she has VISA till Jan 2015), while processing in India, her company processed my application under Visitor VISA category, so right now I am holding V1 VISA.

As I am working, so would like to work in Canada, then got to know that I can apply for "open work permit", so in this process, I went to VFS to check what kind of documents required. In the given check list under proof of funds, it was mentioned 'Property documents/ other proof of income or investments' - VFS people said that I can provide photocopies...

1. Now I am in doubt, how do I show the value of my properties, just submiting a copy of sale deed is enough? OR do I need to valuate properties?
2. Under personal funds... if I would like to show some Bank Balance then how much I need to show/ maintain ?
3. OR - Do I need to do evaluation of my properties and certifed by CA?

It would be great if anybody of you can help me in this... as I am running out of time..

Thanks in advance,

-R

yes u can show both(i however dont think u need all these documents for a work permit as u already got a TRV
2. Under personal funds... if I would like to show some Bank Balance then how much I need to show/ maintain ?
in case of student they require 1 year fee+$10000 for livig expese+$4000 for spouse. however again since u have TRV I dont think u will need to show this.....if u do show this its good .

3. OR - Do I need to do evaluation of my properties and certifed by CA?
according to me u dont need that

since u already have a TRV(visitors visa) u must have added those documents already or some alternate documents. Some have even got open work permit at POE.....so as long as u have copies of ur spouses documents and as long as ur spouse is working under skilled worker/eligible occupation u should have no problem
