Can Dependent apply for Open Work Permit based on PR invitation ?

[Uhd22]

Hi All,

Currently I'm on Student Permit which is going to expire in next month. We got PR invitation (my husband as primary applicant and I'm on dependent on PR application) under CEC.

I have read online that I can't apply for BOWP as I'm not a primary applicant on our PR application and only primary applicant can apply for a BOWP. But I have read on below CIC source where it says " If You're a family member who has been included on an application for permanent residence". So I may be eligible to apply for a open work permit based on the PR application and positive assessment.

CIC source: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/apply-who-permit-result.asp q1_options=1i&q2_options=2c&q3_options=2c_v

Any one who had been in same situation or have any idea how to proceed with this ? it would be great. Also, please confirm I need to do separate application or still I can do 1 single application under my husband's BOWP and add my open work permit on same application? Detailed process would be great if some can share with their past experience.

Thanks

Hi,

I have some questions.
Please help me.
Did you apply for an open work permit as a dependent who has been included in an application for PR?
If yes, what was the result?
What was the status of your principal applicant in your PR?
Please help me.
I’m in same boat and no clear answer.I need your experience. Please.
