Yes you will have to stop working as soon as your SOWP runs out. You should maintain your status and become a visitor. You can reapply once your spouse has a job in noc 0,a,b and 3 pay slips.

Hello folks , need an urgent help.

I applied for my Spouse 's Open work permit online and I got a request for addition documents .It states like this
''Communication, proof: Proof of communication (photos, letters, E-mails, phone bills), between you and your sponsor - Pre and Post Marriage.'

And then 'Please note ,All documents must be in either English or French. Any documents not in English or French must be accompanied by a certified translation'.

So , should I provide fb msg's and whatsapp call list from few months before we got married or I have to go back more than 6-7 months before we got married ??
And face book messages were in native language sometimes , do I have to make a certification of those texts ??

Any direction would help.
TIA

Hi Nikhil,
I got my Spouse open work permit after 6 months. I applied on May 25th and I got passport request on Nov 26th. Use the web form from cic website for exceeding the normal processing time and ask them if they need any other documents.

Can anybody tell me plz..
my fiance has applied for his pr, it's in process. He has got open work permit a few years back. He is working and living in Canada since 4 years.
As his fiance or if we get married, can I apply for owp before he receives his pr? Or I have to find an employer?
I had searched many places where I have found a student visa holders spouse can apply for owp but haven't found my answer.

How did you submit medical without request. Did hospitals allowed this?

Actually i applied PR (express entry) 2 months later with upfront medical for me and my husband. Cic used that medical for my husband’s work permit. It was so surprising that we got the message for medical passed and final decision approved on the same day.
