So apply for an Open Work Permit and include the AOR (as pdf) email in that application.

The relationship proof is in your Family Class Sponsorship application. Not in the OWP.
Include what is required in the OWP application.

My advice is follow what is on the ircc website, not youtube not someone's webpost.
IRCC changes policy and rule frequently.

Bluntly, it sounds like your 'agent' is trying to scare you into paying for their services. Is it a registered agent in Canada?

Fire them. Do the forms yourself. It's not that complicated.

The issue is that the ircc website does not have a specific checklist for this type of application just whats on their site hence its a bit confusing. That is why I wanted to know if someone has applied the same they could guide me.

    • Select “Open Work Permit.”
  • Box 4: Job title and Brief description of duties
    • Enter “SCLPC FC OWP” in the Job title box.

Hi Tushar. The question is which one to select:
  • SCLPC FC OWP, or
  • SCLPC FC applicant in Canada public policy
Which one describes an outland applicant (India) who is in Canada on a visitor visa and wants to apply for SOWP?
