Hi there!
I'm putting all the paperwork together to send it after the weekend and as I was double-checking eveyrthing I started to doubt myself. This is kind of urgent, so I'd really appreciate some help.
Can anyone who've done it before tell me if I need to send the OWP checklist, OWP application form + supporting documents together with the application package for common-law or not?
The Complete Guide (IMM 5289) says the following: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...l-partner-dependent-child-complete-guide.html :
"If your spouse or common-law partner is living in Canada with you and is applying as a member of the Spouse or Common-Law Partner in Canada class, they can also apply for an open work permit when they apply for permanent residence. They must include a completed Application to Change Conditions, Extend my Stay or Remain in Canada as a Worker form [IMM 5710] (PDF, 484.21KB) and the correct fee, explaining that they are applying for an open work permit."
And at the "Submit your application" section says:
1. Place a copy of the checklist (5589) on top of your complete application package.
2. If you’re applying under the Spouse or Common-Law Partner in Canada class and the person you’re sponsoring is also applying for an open work permit, after the checklist, place:
- the work permit application form and documents (if applicable) and
- a separate fee payment receipt for the cost of the work permit application
The order of documents should be as follows:
Thanks a lot
