Hi,

I am planning to sponsor my spouse for PR (inland) and also planning to apply for an OWP. I myself am a PR here in Canada, I wanted to know what would be the validity of the OWP issued? Is it indefinite as based on the expiry of my PR card?

TIA

No - it's not indefinite and it's not based on your PR card. I believe it's issued for 1 year. If you need it for longer then you apply for an extension.

Thanks.

My spouse is on a 2.5 year closed WP right now.

I just want to make sure that she can continue to work/ stay in the county if her spousal pr has not been been received by the time her wp expires.

This is why i wanted to apply for an owp as well so she hopefully has that visa to stay and work.
