does FSWP dependant need work permit?

[justinandaudrey]

Hi,

I am applying under FSWP and my common law partner will come with me as my dependant (cross fingers everything goes well)

How does it work fro my partner:

*will he receive PR as well?

*will he need a work permit?

*if so, will he need to renew his work permit until we apply for citizenship?

Many thanks in advance

If you have a CLP you are required to include him on your application. You would be the "principal applicant" and he would be a co-applicant (or "dependent" on the principal applicant's application). So if you receive PR, so will he.

*will he need a work permit?
Permanent residents do not require work permits. If he wants to come and work in Canada before becoming a PR, then yes, he would need a work permit.
