Open Work Permit Extenstion

[sulagna123]

Hi,

My spouse has an Open Work Permit (post-graduate work permit that is expiring on Dec,5, 2020) and I have extended my Open Work Permit based on his PGWP. We have already applied for PR and our application is in the background check stage. There is a huge delay in processing due to Covid 19. Both of our work permit is expiring on Dec, 5,2020. I know my spouse can apply for a bridging visa since he is the primary applicant for PR. I was wondering how can I apply for my open work permit extension? Please help.

Apply together. Assuming your spouse is already working for and will continue to work for his current employer, and that it is skilled work include 3 current pay slips for your spouse's employment.

So when you say apply together do we mean we have to apply separately under each of our accounts but at the same time?

Sorry, I don't submit through MyCIC accounts. Do you mean that you can't submit two or more related (e.g., family) applications at the same time?

 

[sulagna123]

Oh No, I did not mean that.

So when you say to us ' Apply together' do you mean my spouse will apply under his account and I will apply under my account at the same time?

I meant to ask how do we apply together?Is there a place where we can apply together or do you mean we apply through our individual cic account at the same time?

Thanks a lot for your help. I really appreciate it

Hi @thevisawhisperer -Can you please confirm is there a place where we can apply together or do you mean we apply through our individual cic account at the same time?. I am kinda confused on that part. Your help will be appreciated

As I said, I don't apply via myCiC, but I would submit the applications together. If that's not possible due to systemic constraints, I have no answer for you. It doesn't make sense that family applications that depend on each other for their validity can't be applied for as a package, so to speak.

 

[sulagna123]

I am not asking you to apply via your CIC as mentioned above. You can apply two applications as a package when you are sending a paper application however you can't as a family application when you are applying online. It has to be separate. All I wanted is some information on that!

Dunno. Sorry.
