Spousal Work Permit for International Students husband

[rogerdodger]

My wife is looking to start a course at a private education facility in BC next year and I was hoping to get an open work permit.

However it looks now like the education provider she was with is not suitable for me to get an open work permit.

It says here:
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/work/help-your-spouse-common-law-partner-work-canada.html

That for me to apply for an open work permit the course needs to be at one of these

are a full-time student at one of these types of schools:

• a public post-secondary school, such as a college or university, or CEGEP in Quebec
• a private college-level school in Quebec
• a Canadian private school that can legally award degrees under provincial law (for example, Bachelors, Masters or Doctorate degree)

Can anyone advise?

She will have no problem getting a study permit, it's just me getting the open work permit which now looks to be more of a challenge.

And if it’s a private education facility, she’s more than likely won’t be eligible to get a PGWP if that was the ultimate goal

It's not that getting an open work permit is going to be more of a challenge - it won't be possible. You don't qualify based on where your spouse will be studying.

Your only option for working in Canada under an open work permit is for your spouse to attend a different school (public college or university)
