Hi Pradeesh,

I emailed OOPNP to clarify this confusion. However, they confused me even more. Per their clarification, only principal applicant should apply for OWP and TRV. In case dependants need TRV form to be filled, CIC will inform us. They've asked me to contact CIC call center and clarify if further clarification is required, which I definitely require.

Now problem is, CIC has only a within Canada reachable toll-free no. I could not find any phone no. which I can dial from outside Canada. Nor could I find an email id where we can send these queries for clarification. All this is too confusing as the procedure for filing an OWP for provincial nominees is not clearly mentioned on their website.

Anyone, having more details ... kindly advise. More clarification is appreciated!!

Regards,
Rane

Page 8 of 34 from Guide says

May my spouse or common-law partner and children work in Canada?

In order to work in Canada, your spouse or common-law partner and your dependent children must
apply for their own work permit and must meet the same standards, including the LMO requirement, if
applicable that regularly applies to the issuance of work permits.
They may, however apply for their work permit from within Canada. This guide does not provide general
information about obtaining a work permit for your spouse or common-law partner or your dependent
children. For more details including definitions, responsibilities, and conditions of eligibility, refer to our
website.
Hi Pradessh ,
Thanks for the informartion , I think is is wise not to apply OWP for spouse ,as long as we can apply after reaching Canada , most of us want to get there as soon as possible.. and we do not need any obstacle that may dely the OWP , so for me I think that I will apply for myself at the current situatuion

But Please guys I have a question regarding the required fees , we are 4 family members , how much should we pay for OWP application ,and what applicatios should I fill for 4 years and 2 years old kids ?

AoA all. hope every one is fine and doing well.

my application is in final stages to send CIO. i have some confusion and i request you to answer me following question as i have asked it before too.. but still confusion..please specially Maryam and Malisa and all experts.......thanks...

1) Canada sent us nominee certificate stamped COPY on it....should i send this original(with stamped COPY) or should i send the copy of it...?

2) Canada sent us on letter(based on 4 pages with nominee certificate). Should we send original letter or should we send a copy of it?
This is the letter in which general information is given like WELCOME TO ONTARIO and so on....

3) should we send a notarized photo copies of all the document like our passport, ID cards.. and so on?

4) Should we send the original Police certificates?

5) what should be format and size of the self-addressed mailing labels..whether it is on separate A4 size paper for English or Urdu or something like this...?

6) only 1 DD is enough for all family members for fee or should i make separate DD to pay fee?
I have made ONE DD for all family members....

7) how CIO will recognize the DD that is my DD in case if they misplace DD because there is no option to write DD number on the fee form?

8 ) is it CHC - London or is it CIC - London....immigration office for Pakistanis ?

Hi Maryam ,
Yesterday Wendy answered a question posted by a FSW PNP , asking about whether to apply for an OWP for spouse and the answer was :


" No, you only need to apply for your open work permit. This open work permit will allow your spouse to work as well. She does not need to apply for a separate Temporary Resident Visa "

can you please tell me your understanding of the above lines ?

Dear Hadeel
As you said earlier I think it's wise to apply just for ourselves for now, and if they don't issue an OPW for our spouses then we apply for them inside the Canada.

Dear Zain :
1) I got a copy of it,but sent the original to CIC
2) I sent a copy of it too
3) Each document which is not in English need a notarized copy of it .
4)Yes you should send the original PCC
5)It doesn't matter ( I provided them at A5 size)
6)yes it is enough ( I used 1 DD for 2 person)
7)you can write your name with pencil on the back of it but it is not important because it is included in your application
8 ).... (don't know)

Good luck

Hello Rane/Hadeel/Maryam
Even i couldnt reach any conclusion after talking to VFS/ OntPNP. Looks like its better to apply for a OWP only for the principal applicant paying 150 CAD and then see.

Dear Zain,

All your queries have been answered by Maryam except the last one, its CHC-London( Canadian high commission- London). if u r from Pakistan then only notarized copies of CNIC along with translation is required as all the remaining docs are in both languages.

Check it with your Visa Office, some visa offices like Ankara don't need the Original Passport at the beginning, they will request for Passports after their process is finalized.

Dear zain,

you have to send the original translation along with affidavit from the translator duly notorized by oath commissioner. Furthermore you have to send notorized copy of CNIC as well.

Hi,

I got nomination under FSW Pilot , Ontario Opportunities and received a support letter for open work permit as well.

Although the cover page mentions that they support work permit application for me and my immediate family but the formal support letter mentions only my name and does not say anything about support of my spouse.

Now I have to apply for Open work permit for myself and my question is: With my work permit application, should my wife apply for her open work permit or she should apply only for TRV as she wasn't mentioned in the support letter?

In other words can she use my(main applicant) support letter for her (Dependent) work permit, even if the formal support letter is mentioning only my (main applicant) name?

any help will be much appreciated.

Study, Work, Stay: Opportunities Ontario Hi , No, you only need to apply for your open work permit. This open work permit will allow your spouse to work as well. She does not need to apply for a separate Temporary Resident Visa.
