HELP!!Work permit while outland sponsorship

[Gabomex]

Hi everyone, i want some help from you please!

My wife and I sent the outland application at the beginning of march 2015, I currently living as visitor in canada with my wife, she is canadian citizen and I am mexican. I entered in canada in september 2014 and later got my visitor visa extension till march 2016. So, as the time pass I was reading in some fourum and after the questions start in my mind.

1. Can I apply for a work permit while my application is on process?
2. Is easiest if i have a Job offer? apply the LMIA?
3. Since the NAFTA apply for being mexican, what adventages do I have?

and the last one, that is the one that is making me think a lot....

4. Once the whole sponsorship application is autorized and i get my PR, is supposed that i can work or study without any problem or need of permit??

This is because i found out in the CIC website that states:

The following types of workers are exempt from a LMIA, but need a work permit:
Spouses
This group can include:
spouses and common-law partners of certain foreign students who study full time;
spouses and common-law partners of certain skilled foreign workers; and
spouses and common-law partners who are in Canada and have been sponsored through the Family Class by a Canadian citizen or permanent resident and have applied for permanent residence.

Thanks a lot in advance!!!

The statement you've quoted is for inland applications only. Since you applied outland - this clause doesn't apply to you.

You will need a full time job offer from an employer in Canada in order to qualify to apply for a closed work permit. If the occupation falls under NAFTA, then no LMIA will be required - otherwise an LMIA will be required as well. So the first step is to find an employer willing to offer you a full time job.

Once you are a PR, you will be able to work and study without having to obtain a visa/permit.

So, in case that i don't find an employer to offer me job. I wait till my sponsorship is authorized, and i become PR, can i have the opportunity of work or study without the permits? just my PR??

Yes - once you are a PR you can study and work without permits.
