Spouse open work permit (Outside Canada - applied on mar21 and PR(CEC) ITA received in Aug21 - which will be processed on priority

[Vasudeva12]

Hi,
I have applied my spouse open work permit (outside Canada) on March-2021. The application is still under process, only Bio metric is approved. I also got an ITA in the recent CEC draw (accompanying my spouse and kid as outlander). Please advise whether my spouse open work permit will be processed parallelly or only PR.

It will be processed in parallel. This is called dual intent and you can read about it here: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/temporary-residents/visitors/dual-intent-applicants.html
