OWP for your Spouse, if you have LMO under level A, 0, 1 NOC. double check with CIC always. btw, I'm going to file my CEC this June, same as you 2171.

Re: Dependent OWP with BOWP of Applicant?

U can use ur current WP to apply for ur spouse for an OWP as long as u can provide a work letter for urself ..

Spouses of temp workers and international students can obtain OWP using thier spouse status

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/work-spouse.asp

Not sure about the BOWP, I myself still investigating it.

You can apply for OWP now, as you need to wait for more time to be eligible to apply for BOWP.

As said above by jes_ON, you can apply for your BOWP and his OWP together.

Hi canuck_in_uk,

I am digging up a thread that is very old here, but I wondered if you could clarify something for me?

My partner and I are both on IECs and just applied for PR as a common-law couple, with me as the principal applicant. I will be applying for BOWP on April 4 and I understand that my partner cannot. However, I also understand that my partner cannot apply for SOWP, since I am not sponsoring his PR.

With that in mind, can he just apply for an OWP based on the outcome of my BOWP?

Does he just submit an application for OWP with a letter of explanation and an upload of the AOR both my BOWP application and our PR application?

Thank you!
Claire.
