    After getting CSQ as a dependent of my partner (who is the Principal Applicant), can I start working immediately?

    Thanks. So since I am the dependent (not principal applicant), my partner can apply for BOWP, but I cannot. Yet, when she applies for it, can I apply for the spouse open work permit at the same time, or I have to wait until she obtains the BOWP?
