Who is eligible for a work authorization?
I am applying for spousal open work permitinside Canada, I am quitting my studies and would like to start working ASAP. Can I get a work authorization and start working before getting my work permit?

You need to apply for a SOWP. What is your spouse's permit? Is your spouse in a skilled job with at least 3 paystubs and employment letter? When did you get married if spouse is on a work permit.

You cannot get "work authorization" and work before you are approved. So ASAP is not going to happen. Expect about 5 months to process.

1. Should note that if the OP's spouse got his/her SOWP on the basis of his/her study permit, then not eligible for a spousal work permit.

Hi, my work permit expired on October 4th, 2022. However, I received a letter on August 08th, 2022 that my work permit has been extended for 18 months and that I do not have to do anything and will be sent in the mail. But I haven’t received anything so far and my the public policy is ending on December 31st, 2022. Please advise if anyone is in a similar situation and should I apply to restore and extend my work permit.
