I am American, my husband is an ex pro hockey player (Canadian) so we have never had to be in Canada for more than 6 months in the past 6 years we've been together. He just retired and we came back to Canda on October 26, 2018 and I am not here on any type of visitor or working visa. But I am starting to apply for permanent residency from within Canada because he is now working here and we want to be together. I want to be able to work while my application is being processed, can I still apply for an open work permit even though I am not here on any type of "visitor" visa?
I am set to return to the states many times within the few months and will not be here for longer than a 6 month period, which is why I never got a visa of any type.
Thanks for the help! Danny
