Hi all,
I got my Open Work Permit after I graduated from university. It is set to expire in July 2018 and I'm currently putting together my Spousal Sponsorship application (my Canadian husband is sponsoring me). I'm also applying to extend my Work Permit in order to continue my current employment.
1) Do I put my own "business" name and address for the current employer section in form IMM5710?
2) Do I need to obtain a letter from my client to verify that I'm on a current contract with them?
(I have the original contract that I signed with my client, but I don't want to disclose some of the information to CIC)
3) Do I have to include two times the photocopies of documents as required by BOTH the PR and the Work Permit (eg. 2 copies of Marriage Licence, 2 copies of passport etc)?
I applied for my last work permit online through MyCIC (stupid stupid website ><) and it's different than applying through paper.
I'm also curious how people without current employment arrangement apply for this Spousal Open Work Permit without naming an employer?

- I've been working as a self-employed software developer contractor since I got my Work Permit. I didn't work for any other Canadian company.
- My sole client is out of Canada, but I receive monthly payment directly in my Canadian bank account.
- I've applied and gotten a business registration number and I've been paying my taxes using this number. I haven't disclosed the identity of my client since tax form doesn't ask for this info.
