December 2014 (Inland Spousal Sponsorship: Canada Offers Open Work Permits To Spouses Awaiting Immigration To Canada)
The government of Canada has launched a pilot program issuing open work permits to certain spouses and common-law partners of Canadian citizens and permanent residents in the Spouses or Common-Law Partners in Canada class (SCLPC). Applicants making an Inland application (i.e. while residing in Canada) for permanent immigration to Canada may now be issued open work permits before the ‘approval in principle' decision has been made on their application.
