To get spouse open work permit you must be married.


If your spouse has an open work permit (e.g. post-graduation work permit), you must attach a copy of your spouse’s work permit to your application for an open work permit, along with:

• a letter from your spouse’s current employer that confirms they work there in a NOC 0, A or B occupation, or a copy of your spouse’s employment offer or contract, and
• a copy of your spouse’s recent pay slips.

Your permit will not be valid longer than your spouse’s work permit.

You also need to meet the general eligibility requirements for a work permit.

1) You will have to show some sort of financial proof.
2) I would not know how you would be able to show proof for that.
3) No one can tell you that, it depends on the case.

Honestly, this is a personal conversation you need to have with your girlfriend. This is a decision both of you have to make about your future.
