Same time i see no option for that on ircc website , fake news or their website just not update? They seem to still only permit it from those applying for sponsorship , inside canada.

Current wording:
Who can apply
You can apply for an open work permit if you’re one of the following:

  • a spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner living in Canada who’s being sponsored for permanent residence
  • an accompanying dependent child of the principal applicant

Before, this was:
  • is being sponsored under the spouse or common-law partner in Canada class

But one must be in Canada physically to apply.

Down the page it's even written what to answer.
  • I am applying for an open work permit under an active public policy or pilot program announced by IRCC.

Hi I am Emghie from Philippines, I already started my application for work permit in Canada but the job that I am applying it is a low job skill.

I am planning to bring my common law partner with me in Canada, but as per our regulated consultant since my job is tier 4 or low job skill,

my common law partner can't able to accompany me to Canada as the government didn't approve yet. We live together for more than 2 years now.

Do you have any idea how long my common partner will wait to come in Canada since he is already on my application?
