Changing job while an SOWP application is ongoing

[Sissy19971994]

My husband is applying for a Spousal Open Work Permit (SOWP) under the Open Work Permit category for the International Mobility Program – Family members of foreign nationals authorized to work in low-skilled occupations (C47 and C48). I am currently working in Canada on a Working Holiday Visa. I am considering changing employers but would still be doing the same job (NOC and job dutie)s, just with a different employer. Can I just submit a new employment letter with the new employer ? I’ve been informed by a Facebook immigration group that if I change employers, we may need to cancel the ongoing SOWP application and resubmit everything from the beginning.

Do you mean IEC? If so you can’t sponsor your spouse.
