Is your spouse working? When did they apply for PR? Have you been added to their applications? Did you recently get married? Do you have a history of dating in person with documentation? How long did you date? Did you have a wedding that would be culturally appropriate and did you families attend?

Confirming that a spouse of a protected person may apply for open work permit. I was able to obtain my work permit after my spouse was declared a convention refugee. I already have a valid TRV for awhile now so I was able to fly in as a visitor. I then applied for OWP within Canada in January and had it by the start of April.

Thanks, @Canadian_rainbow for answering our questions. :)
