Hi @legalfalcon and All,

I am a PR of Canada since 2018 and have been working here since then. My Fiance (now my wife) got her ITA/AOR (FSW-O) last year in November when she was Single and the profile continues to be in progress till date. We got married last month and submitted the Web Form with the latest details, including my PR Card, Passport and our Marriage Certificate. We came back to Canada last week.

Now the situation is that my wife is in Canada on a Visitor Visa and her PR Application is in progress. We want to apply for her Open Work Permit based on my PR but the only application that I could find on IRCC/CIC website was a PR Sponsorship application, and an option to apply for the Work Permit through the same PR application. Since she already has her PR application in progress, I cannot find a way for the application of her Open Work Permit under the Spouse category. Can you please guide me with this?

Thanks,
Tarun

Logged into GC-Key account, application status was updated and the thing which was changed was my medical. It was changed from 'Passed' to 'You do not need a medical exam.' Not sure if they extended my medical or will ask me to redo them.

Your spouse cannot apply for a WP based on your PR status. If you would have sponsored your spouse, then your spouse would have been able to obtain a OWP. However, if your spouse can find a job and an employer she can apply for a CWP and then change it to BOWP.

Sorry. Let's put it this way.

I am trying to Sponsor her and apply for her Open Work Permit and I meet all the sponsorship requirements as of today. The only option I can see on the CIC/IRCC website is to Sponsor her for the PR and include Open Work Permit as part of that application. Is there any other way I can sponsor her and apply for her work permit, as her PR application is already in Progress?

You may experience delays because we have a backlog of applications due to COVID-19.

Why is this good news?

Nothing new there.

This is basically what IRCC said in that e-mail dating end of March 2021, when they announced that the infamous progress bar was being taken down

"Due to the impacts of coronavirus disease (COVID-19), we’re experiencing longer than usual processing delays. Rest assured, we are still actively processing your Economic Class – Provincial/Territorial Nominees (EE) application, but it will take longer than usual to get back to you."

If you have filed for spousal sponsorship and if the application has been passed in principle, you can apply for an OWP. IF not, then you cannot.

However, you can surely apply for a LMIA based WP.

Hey guys, I received my work permit three months ago and my security was passed for work permit. Now I have applied for PR, my question is will they again check the security in my case?

It just checked that I did my medicals on October 17, 2020 and since they are valid for 1 year my medicals will expire on October 17, 2021. Getting 'You do not need a medical exam' message now does not make any sense. What about you guys, did you also get this 'You do not need a medical exam' message before the expiry date of your medicals?

Hello,

I just received my GCMS notes from CBSA (after 4 months) and the status is:
FSW-O
VO Paris
Eligibility: Not started - I only have a note from June regarding job (meet the requirements), POF, Meds and Passport
Security: Not started
Criminality: Passed
Info Sharing: In Progress
Med: valid till 05. Nov.

There is another note from Central Intake Office where they say that I meet every requirement (I think is the 1st check before sending the app to VO)

GCMS are the short version (16 pages) and I don't know when is generated, I have a field "Application Assignment" and the due date is 04.July.2021.
