Open Work Permits for Spousal & Partner Sponsorship in Canada

Spouses, common-law, and conjugal partners of Canadians or PRs can get an Open Work Permit while their permanent residence application is processed, allowing them to work in Canada.

Navigate Your Future: Open Work Permits for Sponsored Partners

For individuals in Canada being sponsored by their Canadian citizen or permanent resident partner, the wait for permanent residency can be a period of uncertainty. At Samakav Immigration Corp., we understand the importance of financial stability and the desire to contribute while your application is processed. Our expertise in securing Open Work Permits for Spousal, Common-Law, and Conjugal Partners allows you to work legally in Canada, providing peace of mind and economic independence during this crucial time.

An Open Work Permit is a flexible authorization that allows the holder to work for almost any employer in Canada, without needing a specific job offer or employer-specific Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). This program is designed to mitigate the economic and emotional hardships that can arise from a lengthy immigration application process, ensuring you don't have to choose between being with your partner and being able to work.

Benefits of an Open Work Permit for Sponsored Partners

  • Financial Independence: Gain the ability to earn income and support yourself and your family in Canada.
  • Flexibility: Work for virtually any Canadian employer in any occupation, without being tied to a specific job offer.
  • Reduced Stress: Alleviate financial pressure during the permanent residence application processing period.
  • Early Integration: Begin building your Canadian work experience and integrate into the local economy sooner.
  • Contribution to Household: Actively contribute to your household's finances alongside your sponsoring partner.

Eligibility for an Open Work Permit

To be considered for an Open Work Permit under this category, the foreign national must meet specific criteria. Samakav Immigration Corp. will assess your unique situation to confirm eligibility, which generally includes:

  • Being the principal applicant who has submitted a permanent residence application under the Spouse or Common-Law Partner in Canada Class; or, as a spouse, common-law, or conjugal partner under the Family Class, where the application has been accepted for processing by IRCC after a completeness check and has not been refused or withdrawn.
  • Having submitted a work permit application for a maximum duration of two years.
  • Being the subject of a sponsorship application submitted by their Canadian citizen or permanent resident spouse, common-law, or conjugal partner.
  • Sharing the same residential address as their sponsor in Canada at the time of the application.
