I am planning to sponsor my Spouse and he is currently in Closed Work Permit. We have gone through lot of blogs for application submission and all are pretty much confusing. Can you please help us with the checklist of documents to be submitted by the sponsor and to be filled by my spouse. Can he get the Open work permit while applying for the Spousal Sponsorship.
-Use the checklist in the application package and ignore the blogs to start.

-He can apply for an open work permit (assuming inland of course) along with the main application if applying by paper, not online. (It can be done online but most seem to find confusing when, because it has to be done separately). Note it may take quite some time for the open work permit.

Hey guys. Can we use GCkey and pr portal both simultaneously???
Yes. Only thing is if you are using Immigration lawyer for your file, they would be kicked out of the GCKey if you try to link your application in there. You both can still use PR tracker though.

How to apply Open Work Permit when applying for the Spousal Sponsorship under Family Class Online?
Do you mean outland sponsorship?
There is no OWP available via outland.

Only inland spousal sponsorship can include an OWP application. (Heard that online inland have to wait for AOR before applying for OWP but I am not 100% sure since the online application was not available back then)

Try search for online inland sponsorship in this section. I am not familar with the online application process since it's a pilot program.
But I've seen some people here applied inland online.

These are some of the online discussions:
