Hi, as I saw somewhere on the internet, people are saying that they are applying simultaneously for inland sponsored PR and OWP, but on the official canada.ca website I find only this :

"If you don’t have a work permit, you may be eligible for an open work permit if you meet both of these requirements:

  • You live in Canada with the person sponsoring you.
  • You got an acknowledgement of receipt that says your permanent residence application is being processed"




So I have to wait for AOR after submitting PR to apply for OWP?

Yes, you need AOR.
