Work Permit after Graduation

[lekshmipiriya]

Hi Team,

My husband is on Student Visa in Vancouver, Canada and I am on Student Dependent Visa with Open Work Permit.
I am here in Vancouver from March 2012 and I started working as a Security Guard from June 2012 till today. My husband is also working as a Part Time Security Guard with Off Campus Work Permit from the year 2011 onward.
We both extended our Visa by October 2012, successfully

• My husband's off campus work permit, study permit & student visa got extended until August 31, 2013
• My Dependent Visa & Open Work Permit got extended until August 31, 2013

Now my husband is going to finish off his studies (Masters in Business Administration) and he will get 2 to 3 years of Work Permit.
My doubts are:

• Whether my Open Work Permit will get extended or I will become a Dependent without Work Permit?
• To extend my Open Work Permit can I apply together with my husband's Work Permit Application or I have to apply separately?
• Do we need to apply online (electronically) or paper format (download, complete & mail)?
• If I want to extend my Open Work Permit in any other way please guide me....

Thanks,
Lekshmi

Hello,

Greetings!


Yes you can stay longer and you need to apply to get your OWP extended.

Each member of your immediate family (spouse or common-law partner, dependent children) who wishes to remain longer in Canada must apply for permission to do so. If you all apply at the same time for an extension, each person has to submit a separate application form. All appropriate documentation and the required fee for each person must also be included.

You will find all the info you asked for in the following link;

Hello Lekshmi!

Once your husband ends his studies he'll apply alone for a Post Graduation Work Permit. Your current spouse open work permit cannot be extended unless your husband gets a skilled job. A friend of mine had the same problem. He applied for a new Open Work Permit for his spouse once he got a job.

Cheers,

Agreed. Your husband needs a skilled job for you to extend your open work permit.

He can seek admission in another program and apply for extension of study permit. once study permit is processed, you can apply for work permit.
