SOWP to Regular Open WP

[inder3001]

My wife had LMIA supported closed work permit and I landed with her on a spousal open work permit. After almost 5 months i found a job and i'm looking for way to convert my status from Spousal open work permit to a regular open work permit. I'm trying to understand what are my options here.

Have you applied for PR through an economic immigration stream and has your nomination been approved or have you received AOR?

You can't.

Made the switch from SOWP to a regular open work permit last month. The process was pretty straightforward as long as your documents are in order. Just make sure you meet the eligibility criteria before applying. social media panel
