Technically - it is open work permit with no employer specified. However I applied for PR with LMIA job offer, so I am stuck with my current employer until I receive PR :S

Hi,

I am the spouse (outland; Indian citizen living in the US) of a PGWP holder. Currently, we have a PR application in process, which I believe is on hold due to COVID restrictions. My wife's WP expires in June 2021, and I have a few queries regarding that:

1. Is there any difference between BOWP and PGWP extension under Public Policy, apart from the duration for which the WPs are issued? Should one be preferred over the other?
2. Should I, the dependent, apply for only a TRV or is SOWP + TRV a better option? I don't have a job lined-up in Canada.

I'd appreciate any help regarding this. Thank you!

Thanks. Yes, I did apply for it and that's why I was wondering why it did not come together with the TRV.
