Has anyone been nominated through a PNP and while submitting PR application to IRCC simultaneously submitted an application for temporary work permit for accompanying dependents? What was the outcome?
Temporary work permit
- Thread starter Fordlings5
- Start date
We applied through SINP, we’re currently here on work permits. My husband on a closed and I’m on an open work permit. Our dependent daughter is not in Canada but will like to have a temporary work permit while our application is being processed.
Only spouses qualify for dependent work permits. Your daughter does not qualify for a work permit.

"Dependent children of a permanent residence applicant in any of these economic classes must obtain an LMIA or have an LMIA exemption based on their specific situation to apply for a work permit."
You can check to see if she might be eligible for an IEC work permit -

She's a dependent if she is under 22 and not married/common-law, regardless of whether she works or not.
I was hoping that she could apply for a temporary work permit and wait out the PR process here with us.
She is a dependent.
However dependent children do not qualify for open work permits based on their parents' application. If she wants to work in Canada, she will need to secure a job offer and approved LMIA so that she can apply for a closed work permit.
