Hi there;
My wife is on a work permit in Canada with a skilled job.
Her job is on contract and her job offer letter says it’s a contractual job.
Now the question is that an I eligible for an open work permit or not?
PS
My sister is a PR holder in Canada and studying.

Waiting for someone to share any views.
Thanks and regards
Navjot

You’ll only be eligible for open work permit if there’s an active spousal sponsorship application.
Has your wife applied to sponsor you? You also have to be inside Canada.

My wife is in Canada. I am in india. She is working on a contract. And my question was will I be able to get an open work permit with that or not?
