Hello everyone,

i'm going to apply renew SOWP for my husband. He has to get TRV and find job in Toronto.

Considering current immigration rules, employers are hesitating to give job offer who those hold TRV.

Also i'm planning to apply for FSW2014 noc 2173, me as principal appicant and my husband as dependant in FSW application.

Some employers are ready to give job offer for those who got PER(positive eligibility review) which is confirmation from CIO for further processing of FSW

In this case, does employers give job offer for my husband where he is a dependant in FSW ?

My spouse submitted his education documents i.e. degree certificates and marksheets (photocopy/truecopy) when we applied for his sowp.

You are eligible to apply for Open work permit if your PR case is being processed in land. If you had applied for PR outland, then this does not apply.

No problem. I take it that your spouse is already in Canada on some temp status (Study or work)?

Following is the link to apply for work permit online. SOWP is just a type of work permit, and uses the same forms as those used for standard work permit.

Just that you would choose type as "open work permit" and write Not applicable in employer requirements / details and attach your spousal status details instead.

One more question fkl of you dont mind our nomination is nov 21 2013 however there is a expiration date for that and its only good for 6 mos does it mean that I can no longer apply for owp? Even though our papers is already on cio for pr processing can I still apply?
