Has anyone been nominated through a PNP and while submitting PR application to IRCC simultaneously submitted an application for temporary work permit for accompanying dependents? What was the outcome?
 
Under what program would your accompanying dependents be eligible for a temporary work permit? Are you currently here on a work permit?
 
We applied through SINP, we’re currently here on work permits. My husband on a closed and I’m on an open work permit. Our dependent daughter is not in Canada but will like to have a temporary work permit while our application is being processed.

Only spouses qualify for dependent work permits. Your daughter does not qualify for a work permit.

If she can work, she's not dependent on you. Is she?

See the bottom of this page -

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...g-open-work-permits.html#spouse_or_common_law

"Dependent children of a permanent residence applicant in any of these economic classes must obtain an LMIA or have an LMIA exemption based on their specific situation to apply for a work permit."

You can check to see if she might be eligible for an IEC work permit -

I was hoping that she could apply for a temporary work permit and wait out the PR process here with us.

She is a dependent.

However dependent children do not qualify for open work permits based on their parents' application. If she wants to work in Canada, she will need to secure a job offer and approved LMIA so that she can apply for a closed work permit.

Thank you you so much for taking the time to respond. I am grateful.
