Send you OWP app together with your PR app. It's okay to have a new employer after you have submitted your apps but you can't work with the new employer without a new WP (closed, for your future employer) or your OWP. To apply for WP with the new employer you need LMO from them.

hi jobseeker
i know...my future employer will provide me LMO and i will apply for a new work permit before join the new employment(under LCP)
BUT THAT NEW CONTRACT WILL BE FROM THIS OCTOBER TO NEXT OCTOBER.
so what will i do after next october(2013) when my contract will over.
THE MAIN THING IS THAT I WISH TO GO TO MY HOME COUNTRY FOR 2 MONTHS AFTER OCTOBER 2013.SO ITS COMPULSORY THEN TO HAVE A LEGAL STATUS IN CANADA.
so at that time my OWP should be valid.
if i will apply my OWP now,(in this coming aug 2012 with my PR application) will it be expired after october 2013?
I KNOW ITS COMPLICATED SITUATION BUT REALLY I NEED YOUR HELP.PLEASE

Depends on when your passport is expiring at the time you submit your application (usually OWP co-terminus with the passport or four years (?), not very sure of the four years)

hello job_seeker,

I sponsored my wife last year here in Canada and she got an open work permit. Both our work permits will expire this coming June 2012. I know how to renew my work permit and I already got all the requirements needed. I am just confused on how to renew her open work permit, and what are the requirements needed and procedures. I really appreciate your help! Thanks in advance

Hi,

Are you in Canada as a Temporary Foreign Worker under a skilled type of job? Was she able to obtain her OWP because of you? If you are a skilled TFW then you have to renew your WP first. Once you have your new WP, your wife can send in an application for the new OWP with a copy of your WP as part of the supporting document.

hello job_seeker,

Thank you for your reply. Yes, i am a foreign worker under low-skilled category. She came here in Canada under spousal visa and got an open work permit and we both work in the same company. So i need to apply for the renewal of my work permit first and, later on after it gets approved then she could apply for her as well? Do you have an idea what are the requirements and the procedures to renew her open work permit? Thanks once again.

Am not aware that spouses of low-skilled TFW are eligible gor OWP. But if your wife came under spousal visa and was able to obtain her OWP, then a copy of your WP is what she needs to attach to her application for the OWP.

hi job_seeker,

my girlfriend has a similar situation. Her work permit expires in June 2012; she already received a positive LMO a few weeks back.

A little background: she finished her Bachelor's degree and has been employed for over a year (not in her field of study) and was recently promoted to management position -both prior to LMO.

My question is about the Job Offer letter. Should it be
1. the original job offer (September 2010),
2. promotion letter (October 2011),
OR
3. a new offer with additional details?

Thank you

The LMO/contract/letter of promotion plus the usual, old WP, bio page and marked pages of the passport.

Hi !
I read in your post that you sponsored ur wife under spousal visa. I think you are the one who can answer these questions running on my mind..I would like to have my common law spouse to come here in canada too.Im a live in caregiver, not PR yet. My questions are:
1. Are you an Open work permit already when u sponsored her?
2. U said, she got her open work permit approved. Spousal visa is the TRV right?did u mean she applied open work permit and TRV at the same time? If yes, what application form she used for the open permit?
3.what country she applied from and how long did it take for the whole processing?OWP and TRV?
Please, please your answer will be highly appreciated..thanks in advance!

HI ellecram,

I got a reply from someone that LIC(live -in caregiver) cannot apply for OWP for their spouses because of low skilled job category..but you mentioned that you are under low-skilled category and ur wife was able to get OWP..I wonder what is your job? I got an reply too from the canadian immigration on general enquiries asked them if I'm eligible to get my spouse under SOWP, told them that I'm a caregiver and they answered me like this: Your spouse must apply in manila,etc..i'm really confused.hope you will help me out and answer me soon.pls..thank you
