Hi! Finally may nahanap din ako na thread na recent about spousal work permit. Nag submit ako ng application ko last January 17, nagbigay sila ng AOR nung Feb 09 with medical instructions, I received another letter Feb 24 with a spouse/partner questionnaire then I submitted my answers and other additional documents March 7. It's been 3 months already since my application pero 2 months since my completion. Kinakabahan ako and at the same time naiinip. Ano na ba talaga ang processing time dito sa Pilipinas? :)

Nice to know may mapag tatanungan na din ako.

Hello po. kamusta? :) buti nalang nagbabasa basa ako. sana hindi pa ako late para makapag tanong sayo. pwede po ba malaman kung san nyo po nakuha ung application for spousal work permit? Actually, common-law kami. I just gave birth last June 23, 2011,umuwi kasi sya nung September 5, 2010, 1 month din sya nag stay dito sa Pinas. pero nagsasama na kami since December 2007. Ano po ba mga dapat i priority na documents kasama ng application form? bago po ba kayo nag submit ng application form para sa open work permit eh nag apply muna kayo ng entry visa? o sabay nyo po sinend sa embahada ng Canada? Mag re-renew na po ng work permit si common-law husband ko bilang cook ngayong August. kelangan po ba hintayin ko po muna na makuha nya ung new work permit nya? under po ng skilled type B po ang trabaho nya. hope for your response. :)

buti nalang nag eexist ang forum na 'to. Salamat! :)

Sis, first step for Spousal WOrk permit you need to research your husband's work category if it is skilled NOC category level O, A or B.


"To be eligible for an Open Work Permit, the spouse or common-law partner of a foreign temporary worker must demonstrate that:
the principal temporary foreign worker has work in Canada that is at a management level or a job in a professional occupation or as a technical or skilled tradesperson. In other words the skill level of the principal temporary foreign worker's job must be level 0, A or B according to the National Occupational Classification (NOC).
This skill level requirement does not apply to principal temporary foreign workers who have been nominated for permanent residence by a province (provincial nominees).
the principal temporary foreign worker is permitted to work in Canada for a period of at least six months."


Kung mag aapply ka naman sa ibang agency, you need to make sure you are in the same area as your husband. So that will be a little difficult kasi lalabas pa na mamimili ka ng location diba? If ever na skilled ang category ng husband mo, you can apply naman for spousal right after he gets his LMO and work permit. I just don't know how big the bank accounts or funds will contribute to the application. Hope that helps you a bit.

Hi ailooney! kamusta ka? read your reply at tama ka, nabasa ko yan sa website ng canada pero confuse pa din ako kung paano mag apply ng open work permit. Common-law husband ko nasa Calgary, working as a Cook, NOC 6242-B, mag re-renew na sya ng working visa nya baka end of this month, nabasa ko na pwede pala ako mag apply ng open work permit. Pati ba entry visa kelangan ko din mag apply? san ko ma-ddownload ung application form? sorry, medyo nalito na rin kasi ako sa mga sinasabi saken, merong nag tutugma, merong hindi. Can you give me the link?kung may time ka po. Anu-ano po bang documents ang dapat namin i-priority para sa pag ssubmit ko ng application form para sa open work permit? I just gave birth last June 23, 2011, wala kaming property na nasa pangalan namin pareho, wala din kaming joint account/s, walang bills na nasa name namen, sa Auntie nya kasi kami nakatira simula nung nag sama kami (December 2007), pero hindi pa un nakapangalan sa auntie nya. Ang alam lang namin na patunay eh meron kaming Anak, remittances, emails, pictures din madami. nagpapirma na din sya ng statutory declaration form doon sa consul ng pinas sa calgary at ipapadala nya na saken. Ung birth Certificate pala ng Anak namen, hindi pa nareregister kasi late ung LBC dumating sa address nya. Ayos lang ba na hindi ko isasama anak namen? kasi kaya ko gusto sundan si partner dahil gusto ko din makatulong at magtrabaho, ang dami kasing gastusin ni Baby. may bahay pa kaming binabayaran para sa future ng bata. Tingin nyo po ba, malaki ang chance na makasunod ako sa kanya? Hope for your response. :) Thank you and Godbless.

Hi Faithyou, thanks sa advice mo at encouragement. I will do that bago ko makuha uli WP ng husband ko. Paano ginawa mong letter pinaprint mo din at ano ang reason na sinabi mo?

Ang saya ko kasi may katulad na ako na case sa thread nato, in a common-law relationship. sobrang helpful tlga ang thread nato, masaya din ako pag may na-a-approve na visa . for now waiting pa ako sa work permit ni husband kasi before under low skilled sya ngaun kaka promote lang as cook, thru paper application kasi sya last May lang, ang alam ko 139 days processing so malamang October pa lumabas Work Permit nya by that time pa kame maka-apply ng baby ko , ok lang kahit medyo matagal pa pero sana ma-approve in God's perfect time.
Nakatawag na ako before sa Call center ng CA embassy and right need naten mag furnish ng "STATUTORY DECLARATION OF COMMON-LAW UNION - form IMM 5409, hinde ako makapg post ng link para sa mga forms na kailangan, for some reason pero try to click thread no. 3 or 4 andun ung link na binigay sa akin ni faithyou. everything was there. medyo mas mabigat nga lang diba at mas nakaka-kaba pero katulad mo may baby din kame ng hubby ko 1 yr & 8mos. isa un na magpapatibay na genuine ung relationship as common-law, plus yung home address nyo dito pinas should be the same, mga pictures together, telephone bills, t4 ni hubby na ikaw declared nya as common-law partner, proof of remittances fr. hubby, kung may property na nakapangalan sa inyo, joint bank account, insurance at mga old ym chats or mails kung available or even the latest. Ako so far naka ready palang mga documents, pero dame pa din kulang sa side ni hubby saka nalang daw pag dumating na work permit nya para sabay sabay na...pag nag back read ka madame ka mapi-pick na ideas kung anong mga documents na dapat pa i-present. tiyagain mo lang sis. GOD BLESS US.

@Joluz: Ah ganun ba. Di bale, ok na yan pag nag apply ka uli. God's timing is always perfect. ;)

@ianovy16: Hi! Makikisagot na ko sa ibang tanong mo, hehe. Yung mga TOR, diploma, etc hindi na kelangan red ribbon, original copy lang. Then yung NBI, hindi puede ang personal copy, kuha ka talaga ng NBI kasi kelangan valid sya within 3 months of your application. Dalhin mo yung personal copy mo pagkuha mo sa NBI. Yun lang, hope that helps. :D

@imsamazing: Ako din nagsend ng additional documents through courier, hindi ko nga alam pano itrack, hehe. Pero siguro naman nakuha nila yung mga pinadala natin. :)

sis for the forms click mo ung page 4 ng thread na to, makikita mo ung link na binigay ni faithyou sa akin hinde pa ako allowed magbigay ng link dito eh, siguro dahil newbie palang din ako. For TOR and other certificates sa experience ko kasi sa hubby ko nung nag-apply sya last year sinama namin ung originals nun at authenticated na TOR nya at mga certificates pati nga NBI nya na original authenticated din eh. Pero may nabasa ako dito at natanong ko nadin kay ailooney na kahit hinde na authenticared acceptable sa embassy na approve naman visa nila. Hope this helps.

Oo sis, isasama ko anak ko sa application ng visa, nalaman ko since hinde pa school age yung edad niya tourist visa aplication form daw gagamitin for him. Sabi kasi ng hubby ko may daycare naman dun pwede pag-iwanan, kasi mag 2 years old na sya, napag-usapan din namin alternate kame ako work sa gabi, sya sa umaga work para may bantay sa baby namin. Alam ko kailangan tlga ng cenomar both sayo at sa hubby mo. especially sa aten kasi common-law tau. NBI alam ko less than 3 mos. old ang accept nila kaya kung sure kana sa application dun kapa lang kumuha para sure ka na valid. Sa Sss kahit dimo nahuhulugan ok lang yun, wala kb work? ang kailangan ata yung pink copy na E4 para sa additional beneficiary ata un kaya niri-require minsan ng embassy, pwede mo na i-update yun dagdag mo baby mo. :) nag-work kaba ng UAE? kasi ung word na "inshallah! k have a good day.
