Steps to apply for Open Work Permit

[anainacio]

Hello,

I have applied to Extend My Stay in December 2022, I have submitted my PR application ( inland spouse) including all fees in January 2023 and have already received my AOR, done Medicals and Biometrics.

I want to apply for Open Work Permit, as i have mentioned in the PR application, and have already paid the fees at that time.

What should I do now? will the OWP be automatically processed? or do I need to take any further specific step?

Thank you,
Ana

You need to apply for the OWP, now that you have received the all important AOR email from IRCC.
