Hi

Under what grounds do you qualify for an Open Work Permit?

You have no status, so you can't put Worker.

Because my spouse has PGWP and She is working under NOC "B" code theb as far as I know, I can extend my open work permit.

When did your status expire? Does your spouse has 3 payslips from her job?

You need to select Other and put that you are out of status. Pick a date.

Mine has expired in last July 31.
And what sort of 3 payslips are you talking about? She has got payment cheque, working hours and job title sheet
And which date do I choose? I can't choose the date before today

thanks for answers - my husband will be in same position. we are applying now for him for open work permit on basis of mine PGWP.
Are you sure that we need 3 payslips from my work? his current work permit expires on 7th of November and we were going to apply for him very soon and I've just started new work, I have only one payslip.

one more question - I've read on CIC page that you should to apply for extension of your work permit while your current permit is valid at least 30 days - is it true? can I apply later - lets say in our case 1st November vs current permit expires on 7th of November.

thank you

I applied my PGWP a month before expiry it was in July 31, I should have applied my wife's permit as well, while mine was processing my wife's permit was expired because her permit could be valid depend on my permit.
once I got my PGWP she attempted to extend her permit but she had to pay $200? more for restoring her permit.

As far as I know, person who holds PGWP have to work under NOC code "O, A, and B" position then her spouse can issue open work permit
that's why they require your pay-slips which show your wage and job title. If PGWP holder works under "C or D" his or her spouse can't work.

Yes, you need 3 payslips. This is stated on the IRCC website.

30 days is a suggestion, not a requirement. You can apply Nov 1st.

1. Restoration is for people without status.

2. Yes, you are applying for an OWP.
