You may be eligible for an open work permit if you are in one of the following situations:
Permanent residence applicants who have applied to an office in Canada,
Dependent family members of some permanent residence applicants, - My wife is eligible for this criteria
Spouses and common-law partners of some workers and international students, - My wife is eligible for this criteria
Refugees, refugee claimants, protected persons and their family members,
Some temporary resident permit holders, or
Some young workers participating in special programs.
In each of these situations, you must meet additional criteria to be eligible.

Today I am returning to Canada and planning to apply the work permit for my wife.
Do I need to provide my wife's PGWP scanned copy along with the passport for the SOWP?
Required documents - Application to Change Conditions, Extend my Stay or Remain in Canada as a Worker (IMM5710) (required)
There is a optional document named "Schedule 1 - Application for a Temporary Resident Visa Made Outside Canada (IMM 5257)". Do I need to submit this form?
