Getting a OWP from Visitor ( INSIDE CANADA )

[Karan_Can]

Folks,

Wanted to ask what is the general response from CIC when applying for a Work permit while on Visitor visa.

On cic website, after answering the questionnaire the results were; he can apply for Open work permit.

Just wanted to know a general Data on the acceptance of these cases....


Thanks

Do you have a spouse in Canada who is here on a work permit or study permit?

No ...He is single

No ...He is single

He doesn't qualify for an open work permit in that case. You've misunderstood the rules.

People in Canada on a TRV do not qualify for an OWP simply because they are in Canada as visitors.

You have to be holding a TRP to qualify. TRVs and TRPs are not the same thing. TRPs are special permits that are granted to people who are otherwise inadmissible to Canada (usually due to a crime they committed outside of Canada).

If he wants to work, he needs a job offer and approved LMIA so that he can apply for a closed work permit.

No ...He is single

Then he doesn't qualify for a open work permit. Open work permit are for applicants who have spouses in Canada that has a NOC O, A or B job or have applied for PR spousal application etc.

Depends on the spouse's status in Canada. For example, if they are a PR or citizen - no OWP. If they are here on a work permit - their job has to be a NOC A, B or 0 role.

No - they don't have to be in Canada to apply for the OWP. They can be outside of Canada.

My husband has a valid work permit and inside Canada. I am in Canada holding a visit visa. I want to apply for OWP and student permit for my 15y/old daughter who is in the Philippines. Is it possible to do our application together (owp inside canada, student permit outside canada)? Or shall I process my OWP first and submit her application for student permit later after i got approved?

You can apply at the same time but they are 2 separate applications. You spouse work in NOC 0, A or B to qualify. When does his WP expire?
