Work Permit for Spouse

[Mshimpi]

Hello, I recently got approved for PR under CEC. Now I am planning to get married by fiancée is in India. Is there any category under which I can get work permit for her after marrying?
Because PR under family sponsorship may take more than 12 months. And I want to bring her to Canada earlier than that.

The only option would be for her to get a TRV, come to Canada and then for you to sponsor her for PR through the inland sponsorship process and include an open work permit with the application. Basically it's only possible if she is able to come to Canada.

Sounds good.
Thank you

Sounds good.
Thank you

But note that if you get married before landing in Canada and becoming a PR, you need to add your spouse to your application before landing.

I am in Canada for last 3 and half years. My PR application is already approved and I just applied for my PR card yesterday.

Thanks for clarifying. In that case what I said earlier applies. Only option for an OWP is for your spouse to come to Canada on a TRV after marriage and apply inland.
