Adding spouse after AOR - applying for spousal open work permit while waiting for PR

[canuck78]

Hi @thereorthereabouts and fellow members,

I hope this finds you all well.

I would like to know about your opinion in this case:

I am currently working in Canada under an Open WP and received Provincial Nomination and also, I have applied for the Permanent Residency. I have received my AoR in February 2020 and now waiting for the next updates in the process. My work permit is expiring in April 2021.

I am planning to marry in August 2020, this means that my PR application will still be in process and I will be adding my spouse in my application. Also, my girlfriend and I are citizen of different countries (Peru and India resp.) and she lives in Peru but has a TRV for Canada.

Question 1: What impact (in terms of processing timeline, proof of fund etc) this will make to my ongoing application process?

Question 2 : Is there any advantage/disadvantage of the place of marriage such as marrying in India, Peru, or Canada in the application process?

Question 3: What are the options we have by which she can get the Work Permit after we marry and how much time it will take?

Please feel free to share your views.

Thanks in advance.

You are adding her to yourPR app so there is nooption for her to apply for a work permit after marriage like with inland sponsorship.

Thanks for your reply, so it means that she can not work in Canada after marriage?
