Visitor Visa to Open Work Permit

[Linux_Oscar]

Hello, I am in Canada with a temporary work permit under NOC category A. My wife is also here with a visitor Visa - Permit. As what I know, she can apply for an open work permit because my work permit is under NOC category A.

1.- What are the forms (checklist) she needs to complete to apply within Canada?
2.- In her current Visa stuck on her passport under category it says VISITOR mine says WORKER. Does she also needs to make the process to get a WORKER Visa or she can apply as it is now for the open work permit?

I appreciate your help. I have been searching the answer for question 2 and haven't found it yet...

Did you try to read www.cic.gc.ca?

Yes I did. For question 1, my guess is that she needs to complete "Application to Change Conditions or Extend Your Stay in Canada as a Worker" I just want to confirm if I that is correct.

For question 2, I haven't find clearly if she can apply for the open work permit having the "VISITOR" status on her passport.

Worker VISA? there is no such thing, it is a TRV. This has nothing to do with the application you need.

You can apply for a Work Permit while on TRV.

Well my TRV under category it says "Worker" her TRV says "Visitor". So no sure if she can apply to the open work permit while her TRV category says "Visitor" or if she needs to apply and change first the category to "worker" on her TRV.

In order to have under category "worker" she needs a Work Permit.... so this scenario isn't even possible.

Again, you can apply for a Work Permit while on TRV.

Yes, that is the correct application.

It doesn't matter that it says "Visitor" on her TRV. She can still apply for the OWP without issue.

She has to include a copy of your work permit and a copy of your job description to prove a. you are working and b. your job is in Noc A.
