Hi !
I'm applying for the Bridge Open Work Permit after having submitted a PR application with EE.
I'm the Main Applicant in the PR application.
With me in the PR application there are my husband (who already has his own WP sponsored by his employer) and our daughter (She was born in Canada and she is already Canadian)
WE are all in Canada with a valid Work Permit.

At the question
"Are you accompanying a family member that has status in Canada, or has recently been approved to come to Canada?"

should I answer YES or NO ?


Also, for the next step is not clear...
Will my husband need to apply for his own Open Work Permit (spouse sponsor) based on my Bridge Permit, only after my Bridge permit has arrived?

Or
Will he be automatically included in this BOWP application, therefore 2 Bridge Work Permit will arrive?
one each ?

Or
Does he need to create his own profile and Do his own application for a Bridge Work Permit right now as well ?
In this case... what he should answer to the above question (are you accompanying...) YES or NO ??

THANKS FOR THE CLARIFICATION :)

Hi, Did you get a answer to this question?

And now I`m in the process of applying for the Bridging Open Work Permit and there`s a another question make me confused.
When I go through the IRCC questionnaire, there`s a section asking that

"Are you a spouse, Common Law Partner.........of a person who holds a work permit or is applying for a work permit"

Do you know that, it is okay to put "No" here if my wife holds a PGWP (Work Permit)? Because, If I put "Yes" here, I won`t be asked for the questionnaire related to the Bridging Open Work Permit.

Please let me know if you have any idea about this? Thank you!
