Work Permit Application for US Citizen

[bandwidth]

I am a permanent resident of Canada and my spouse is US citizen. Can he apply for an open work permit?

You can sponsor your spouse for PR.

No - not based on being married to you alone.

Thanks.

Since outland processing of PR takes some time, is it still okay for my spouse to come in and out of Canada while the application is in process?
