Hi I'm hoping for some clarification.
I'm currently be sponsored by my fiancé (approved) and my application for PR is being processed in London.
My fiancé lives in Calgary and I plan to go stay with her while we make final wedding plans for our ceromony in Canada this summer.
I'd like to stay and work whilst we await my PR (current processing times indicate that this will be Dec 2015)
Can/how do I get an open work permit? I understand that there is a scheme that allows spouses/common law partners to get an OWP while waiting the PR decision ? Ive searched the Canadian Immigration website but cannot find anything specific to this scheme.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
