You are life saver, my husband is a citizen and I will be moving over to Canada in Jan 2024. I have applied for permanent residency and approved in principle, hold a CSQ. For weeks I have been trying to apply for open work permit and kept on getting an error. I tried testing your method and it worked, so I will be applying when I arrive. Not even my embassy could help me. May God bless you for sharing knowledge with us🤝
Hi Suyash. Thank you for the whole video. I applied the common law for my girlfriend with your videos:) However, I have a question. I followed everything that you do in this video, but I didn't see any section put AOR. do you have any idea where will I put that letter in the application?
Hi sir, if the sponsored person in Canada class received her/his confirmation letter (AOR) from IRCC. Is it possible to apply at the border through the process of flagpoling? or does this apply only through the online application?
Hello Suyash! Thank you so much for helping us so much! It can get so complicated and confusing with so many processes, and waiting and forms. I have a questions as I am quite confused now. When I applied for my PR sponsored by my common law partner(inside Canada), at one point of the payment it was asking if I wanted to request the Open work permit while waiting for my PR application, to which I said yes and paid for that at that moment so I understand I do not need to do anything further for the OWP after, but now you are confusing me saying I need to apply for it after getting my AOR. So what would be the case for me? Thanks!! :)
Hello, what if the applicant has an expired visitor and AOR, do they still have to pay the "restore your status as a worker" fee in addition to the open work permit fees?
Hi, my husband is Permanent Resident and I am on open work permit. I still haven’t submit my spouse sponsorship application but my work permit is expiring in June 2024. Under which category can I apply to extend my Work permit? Please advise me. Thank you.
Hello Hit, I have a confusion on my work permit extension. I am on work permit and it's expiring in 30 May 2024. and my girlfriend is on study permit and she is going to apply for her work permit in April, 2024. Can I apply for common law partner work permit based on her application?
Thank you for your very informative videos! There's still a confusion about the eligibility of those applied under Family Class but afterwards they received their Visitor Visa and are currently inside Canada. Can they somehow considered eligible for Open Work Permit?
Hi. I have a questions, is there any conflict if you applied for spousal open work permit first (inside canada) & still no update until now and then submitted a permanent residency application after a month, coz’ my husband received an email that he needs also to submit my permanent residency requirements Since we got married last June 10, 2023 and my husband just update his marital status from single to married in his permanent residency application. And one last thing, the validity of my stay in canada will be on November 13, 2023. What’s the best option for that?
Hi Suyash, My wife is under PGWP and we applied SOWP which is currently under process. My question is, can we both apply PR while SOWP application is under process?
Hello, your videos are so helpful I'm forever grateful! Just a quick question if you already paid for the OWP fee in the spousal sponsorship application does it mean we have to pay twice for it?
@@HitSubmitCanada So in the questionnaire (online) when they ask if I have to pay some fees I should click on the option "No, Im exempted"? Thank you again for taking the time to answer!
@threepeaspod Hi can you please tell what was your status in canada while applying for work permit.Or if you know anything like this we could apply at maintained status.Thanks in advance
So I applied for my spouse open work permit this december.Now I got my PNP.Is there is any problem if I apply add my spouse as my dependent for my federal files.Please explain.
hi thank you so much for ur help ,one more request the family info form igt is not possible to validate it. and the signature on 5707 are physical right
If Principal applicant is already on workpermit which is going to expire soon. Can they apply for extension along with spousal sponsorship. Because I do see extend your stay imm5710 form under additional documents section in spousal pr portal. Or they need to wait for AOR as well
Hiii.. thank you so much for this great help… i have a question that if i called my parents on supervisa… and now i am applying for my husband permanent residency… and i have to mention that i sponsored before from my family… is supervisa is sponsorship?
Hey, I really like all of your videos and it’s very helpful. I still need one more help , can you please make another video regarding how to fill all the forms and supporting document for inside canada open work permit. I am currently on this stage and I really need help as soon as possible.
Im currently on PR in canada. I have submitted an outland spousal application for my wife and meanwhile she has travelled to canada on a visit visa. Can she apply for an open work permit. Thank you.
I just emailed you about this exact question. And you upload this video the same day. What are the chances. Your help is much appreciated! Awesome work
That is what the instructions say. That said, Some people have had success even applying at the same time. So its up to you. Safest option is to go by the instructions
What if the Father and son are in Canada on visit. We will apply for inland with open work permit. What about the dependent child? Maybe you can make a video about this😊
Thans for this informative video. I wanted to ask if I can upload the upfront medical report under the 'Request for Medical' before transmitting my application for Spousal Open Work Permit.
Hi. I applied for PR( not express entry) after getting PNP nomination. Occupation in demand stream. Im doing C or D level job. Its been three months and didnt even get AOR. My question is Can i extend my PGWP which is going to expire on july 2024? Because the processing time will take 15months.
Hi Bro, i have applied for spouses or common law partner outside canada(overseas applicant). Meanwhile my wife came to canada as a visitor. Is there any options to apply for open work permit while we are waiting for PR.
Hi. Thanks for useful information. I have applied under inland spouse sponsorship and after 1.5 month I have received auto generated email with application number saying this confirms that your application has been received by CIC etc but there is no attachment(pdf) for AOR . Do I have wait for another email for AOR or Application number email itself is an AOR to apply for open work permit .? Any idea ?
Just asking how to proceed for my OWP online application since GC Key dont have that “visitor visa, study permit, work permit” option? Ony the EE& IEC is appearing.
How’s about open work permit for spouse of PR’s holder? Not sponsor( because they don’t plan to stay in the country permanently, they don’t do spousal sponsorship) Thanks
There is no set number mentioned in the instructions, you can provide as many as you feel necessary to justify your case. I provided 6 when i sponsored my wife
hi, thank you for making these valuable videos: I have a quick question: I am a Canadian permanent resident and my wife is a US citizen. If I apply her Canadian PR in the "spouse or common-law in Canada class" category and if she receives her AOR can she go outside of Canada i.e. to the USA? if not then if she gets AOR and gets her Open work permit can she go outside of Canada i.e. USA considering her PR application is in the process? Please suggest.
Short travel is ok I guess, 2-3 weeks. But the spouse or common-law in Canada class requires the PA to stay in Canada for the entire application duration. So, keep that in mind. Travel after Open work permit is relatively less risky. Try to Check with more people who might have done this and see if you find more information.
Hii Suyyash, i have applied my Spousal PR application (inland)by just watching your videos. Really appreciated for Your help .I have some doubt..as i myself here on PGWP and it's going to be expired on Jan 2024. It's been just month having applied for PR.. when i receive the AOR,, do I also have to apply for open work permit?
Hi, im planning to send my spousal sponsorship application and if im apply OWP, how do I pay the fee for OPW meanwhile i already pay for the sponsorship. Please help, thank you so much.
Hello I am a protected person in canada snd going to spply for PR for me and my family. Can my family apply for TRV , when their pr will be in process?
Hello, I am an International student and I finished my study. I just applied for my PGWP. My spouse is also in Canada from 7months and he has NOC B job. My study permit and his work permit is expiring on 31st march. So can I apply for his work permit extension once my PGWP get approved ? I heard that for extension of SOWP main applicant needs NOC B job but some friend told me that this rule is removed now. Please guide me.
Hello, thank you vey much for all the help. I am sponsoring my wife for a Permanent Residence from outside Canada, now she came to Canada on a tourist visa, is it possible to apply for an open work permit ? I am not sure because she is now in Canada, but the application was from outside. Thank you :)
Hi Bro, your videos are very helpful. Thank you for your efforts. Appreciate if you can share some light on below questions. Can i submit in-land Express Entry application with non accompanying spouse but accompanying child. What are the documents required for children in this scenario.
Hey Suyash. Thanks for all the informative videos, they are very helpful. I have a small question. Once the whole spouse sponsorship process went online since September, I heard that the principal applicant should make the account in the PR portal even though they are using their spouse as their representative. Is it true? Kindly explain. TIA
quick question , I sent Pr application ( i was outside of canada ). Now I am visiting my wife( I have visitor visa for canada ) and living with her for 3 months. can I apply for open work permit/?
HI bro, you are making amazing and helpful videos. keep it up. I have a question, I am a Canadian Citizen, and my baby was born recently outside of Canada. My understanding is that she is eligible to inherit the citizenship through me. I am in the process of submitting my wife's PR, with my new baby. how can i address this? the baby is not yet a Canadian citizen, but eligible for it. She also does not have any passport, so even if she gets a PR, she has not travel document to use. Ideally IRCC should understand that the Wife is applying for PR, and the baby is eligible for Canadian Citizenship. However the system does not seem to have any integration for this. Please help. thank you.
So the baby would need a passport to travel to canada. I think you can apply for the baby’s passport from outside canada at a Canadian embassy. But that might need a proof of citizenship so this is tricky. I am not aware of how long the citizenship certificate process takes. But there are people that share the same situation as you. So this can be done. Best option is to talk to a regulated professional to figure this out. Mean time check facebook groups on spousal sponsorship may be some one shared details there
Hi Suyash Thanks for your video, i am PR holder, my partner just applied for visitor visa one month ago and no update yet, Can i apply he apply for his spouse sponsorship application
Hey Suyash, I have one urgent question, I have recently applied for an Inland spousal sponsorship after watching all your videos. And I want to apply for an OWP as soon as I receive the AOR, if I apply for OWP and it is in process, will I have to extend my visa to stay here? Or will I automatically get a maintained status?
Hello Suyash. Thank you so much for these videos. I'm sorry if this is a redundant question but I would be really thankful if you can clarify this for me. If I am a Canadian citizen working in Canada and I have sponsored my wife who is outside of Canada, given what you discuss at 4:25 I cannot apply for an open work permit for my wife?
Correct, your citizenship status has nothing to do with her eligibility to apply for OPW. Since you have already submitted an outland application for her, she cant apply for OPW as of now.
Hi Suyash. Thank you for your wonderful videos. I have a question. I have applied for my spousal PR inland. My visitor visa has expired. When i try to apply for open work permit , there is a question “when does your status expire in Canada?” As my visitor status has already expired in Canada, what should i do? I am not able to apply for open work permit without answering that question. Please help me I am really worried about it. Thank you in advance 😊
if its expired, you must be truthful and answer with the date of expiry. also attach proof of how you intend to maintain status now so the officer knows that you are not overstaying your visa limits.
@@HitSubmitCanada HI Suyash, thank you for your videos, it's very helpful for us. I have the same situation here, my visitor visa is expiring, and applied for inland sponsorship, I haven't received my AOR yet, Is it better I apply a visitor record before my visa expire? thank you in advance
@harrydhaliwal2686 Hello can you please help me as even i am on the same boat. Did you apply for open work permit and if yes then what date did you enter as the form is not allowing any date lesser than today. Also, I have applied for visitor extension which is still pending. thanks in advance.
@@Stories99 Hi, As I entered the date lesser than today and applied for my open work permit. They rejected my work permit saying that as I applied for my open work permit after my visitor visa expired, I am not eligible for work permit. So I would say You should only apply for open work permit before your visitor visa expires otherwise it puts a negative impact on your application. If you have already applied for visitor visa extension, you should wait for that while staying in Canada until they respond. I hope it helps!
Since the application process take up to 20 months, is there a way to speed it up? or is there a way for the spouse to come to Canada and visit?? We have already submitted our application on line to sponsor her under spousal sponsorship>
@@mastergee84 No one gave me a clear answer. However, it says that when you apply and having a pending application, you may apply for her visit. The approval depends on the stage of your original application. The more advanced your application in the stages, the more chance you will get your visit visa approved. I hope this help.
Hi can you help me.I am on pgwp which is expiring feb 7th. we are waiting for pcc to submit spousal. Can i apply for open work in this situation before i apply spousal since days are limited? My employer is a bank and they already send me warning
Hello, I just submitted my inland application and paid for the open work permit fee. Now if I want to submit my open work permit, how to not pay the fee again?
You can but the chances of getting accepted are slim. You need to prove quite strongly that the principal applicant will return to their home country. Look into “dual intent” and see if you can make it work
Hi… I applied the spousal sponsorship for my wife in India. And she just got visitor visa. If she is here in visitor and if it possible to apply for the open work permit once she is here?
I am still confused , hoping to get a reply. I am in Canada(work permit), my wife is in India. I applied for PR in Nov 2022 and added my wife as well to the PR application. Got ITA , medical and biometric updated for both of us. Can we apply for a SOWP and bring her in to Canada? I guess it is NO? please reply.
Hello! I already sent my PR application and received AOR, I followed all the steps in this video and my results are that I'm not eligible, maybe I clicked the wrong option? now If I want to try again I don't get the visitor visa/ work permit option. Is there anything I can do to try again?
Hi what is the approx time frame for spousal sponsorship outland. I am PR in canada and my spouse is in India. How much time should I have to expect to complete the whole process
Hi, I have applied for the spousal PR from inside Canada and at the time of submission, the website asked me if I also intend to apply for the work permit. I said yes and I paid the extra fee for that. This means that I have already applied for the SOWP and there would be no need to do it again from the way you mentioned in this video?
Hey Suyash, my current status in Canada is PGWP and I’m planning to apply for my spouse work permit, meanwhile I’m also eligible for PR express entry not started the application yet, can I first file Spouse open work permit and then apply for PR for both of us, but I’m confuse if she’s already in applied status, will there be any problem for PR process? Will do help me on this. Thanks for creating such informative and genuine videos, keep up the good work bro, ❤
Hi Suyash, I would like to know how to upload imm5707 family information form. CIC guide states that 'this In the Family Information form (IMM 5707) part of the document checklist, upload the Family Information form and your marriage licence or certificate' but there is no spot for imm5707
Nowadays you can apply for an open work permit on the PR portal together with your in-Canada spousal sponsorship without receiving Acknowledgement of Receipt and it saves a lot of time. You can upload IMM 5710 in pdf. file on the PR portal together with other documents. So you don't have to wait for AOR to apply for an open work permit. I don't know if this is possible. Some friend tole me this.
Hy sir tremendously u r educating us i appreciate, can u brief us about the income and bank balance required for principle applicant under pr spousal sponsorship
Veere my wife is Canadian Citizen so my Outland PR is in process and I just got Canadian Visitor Visa in India. Can I apply for SOWP if I come to Canada while waiting decision on my Outland Spousal PR ???
Hmm, this is tricky! Since you have already applied outland, technically you dont qualify for SOWP. Since that option is for inland applicants or Spouse or common law partner in canada class. So even if you might come to canada on TRV, you’ll still be considered an outland applicant(Family class) so I don’t think you can apply for spouse open work permit. But, my information may be outdated so double check on the IRCC website or ask around and see if it’s possible. Also, congratulations on getting the TRV with an already ongoing outland application. It’s one of the hardest visas to get with a pending sponsorship application. So you must have really gone the extra mile to get it done! Would you mind sharing how you got that done? What documents did you submit? You can either post here or email me/DM me on instagram with a message. and then I’ll make a video so that it will help other applicants in understanding the dual intent process.
@@HitSubmitCanada Veere my case is very different from others. I was in Canada on study visa and got married to my Canadian wife after her university when she turned to 19. She applied for my Inland PR Unfortunately, I left my college and got 1 year removal (Expired). First of fall, my Outland Spousal PR is in process and in TRV we added my wife's physician letter which is 100% true that her Indian Visit can be harmful for her health due to horrendous air in North India and Sponsor Letter was Notary Attested. Even we have all Canadian Papers like Joint Car Ownership, Tax Papers, Joint Bank Account and living proofs which clearly declare that our relationship is true, added in Outland PR Application. Thank You very much so kind person Suyash🥰, I watch your all videos. I pray for your and your family's happiness. Love from Punjab, India. Waheguru Ji and Ram ji Both will bless you all🙏
Hello Suyash. I have sponsored my spouse as overseas application and I’m currently on “Eligibility” stage and have been there since 22nd September 2022. I have sent the medicals, biometrics, RPRF, and all documents. How much do you think the “eligibility” and “background check” last each? How was on your case? It has been almost 4 months for me in the “eligibility” do you think it could take more?
Can i go back to india...my husband in india and we submit his sponser ship file last week.i want to go back and come back with him.i am PR i got My PR card.if I go it is effect file?
I am in the same situation and want to know the answer if I am eligible to apply for OWP while Outland PR is in proceeding and I came to Canada on Visitor Visa
Hi Suyash, in revised form, there is no option to check box for open work permit like it used to be in the earlier form. Does this mean my spouse who is currently with me in Canada will have to apply separately for Open Work permit on receipt of AOR. Thanks
Hi Suyash, thanks for your info. If I already paid the open work permit fee when I submitted the Inland Spousal Sponsorship application online, I should submit imm5710 upon receiving AOR from IRCC together with the previous payment receipt record that I paid in Inland Spousal Sponsorship application as a proof of my OWP application fee?
Hey Suyash, Your videos are an excellent help for Canadians like us. I sent you some Questions on Instagram regarding our file. Once you get some time, could you please have a look?
hi thank you so much for ur help ,one more request the family info form igt is not possible to validate it. and the signature on 5707 are physical right
