Hi everyone,
We recently received our Acknowledgment of Receipt (AOR) for our inland spousal sponsorship application and now want to apply for an Open Work Permit (OWP). However, we’re a bit lost on how to proceed.
We created a GCKey account, but we are unable to link the PR application to the account—it keeps saying “application not found.” The sponsor received the AOR via email a few days ago in a PDF. Has anyone else experienced this?
I found the OWP questionnaire, and it asks us to upload the following:
• IMM 5710
• Passport
• Digital photo (Can we use the same one from the PR application, or does it need to be new? Can we take one at home?)
• Upfront medical exam
• Family member proof of status
Is this the correct application process? Also, where should we upload the AOR as proof that we are eligible for the OWP?
Lastly, I already paid the biometric fee when applying for PR, but the system is asking me to pay again for the OWP. Do I need to pay again, or can I skip this fee?
Might be important: currently staying in Canada as a visitor. (Travelled using eTa, passport wasn’t stamped, so 6 months from entry date which was 2 months ago.)
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
