It depends on the NOC level of your spouses job. For you to get an open work permit his job must be in NOC A, B or O and longer than 6 months. If it is, then you use this application with proof of his employment and proof of marriage . http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/extend-worker.asp

No, spouses of LIC are not eligible for Spousal Open Work Permit. See: http://www5.hrsdc.gc.ca/NOC/English/NOC/2011/Welcome.aspx

Hi Aman82,

You included your spouse as your dependent when on your PR application. You dont need to apply again for a Spousal OWP as it will get refuse.

As PMM posted, "spouses of LIC are not eligible for Spousal Open Work Permit."

Good luck :)
