hi!

I'm currently employed here in Alberta Canada as a TFW under a contract with a company. I was wondering if I could apply for an open work permit. I'm married to a canadian citizen last April 2010 and we submitted our spousal sponsorship on June 2011, I got a client # already from immigration and our papers are still in process until now. can I apply for an open work permit while waiting for my application? I have to find another job due to schedules and transportation and we do have a one year old as well so it's hard for us to manage our schedule. Thank you.

1. You should have included the application for an OWP with the application (assuming it was "in Canada" spousal) to Vegreville. You can apply now, but you won't get it until you receive first level approval.
