SOURCE-BACKED ANSWER

How do I complete Spousal open work permit?

Tie a spouse or dependent-family open-work-permit request to the exact current worker category and preserve the relationship, principal-person and application records. Start with the reviewed official source, follow the current actions and submit through your own government account.

Practical order

1. 1

   Record the principal person’s current work permit or approval, occupation, employment, validity dates and any permanent-residence pathway referenced by the live family-member rules.

2. 2

   Use the exact IRCC worker category, occupation or PR-process section to record which spouses or dependent children may apply and any timing or validity condition.

3. 3

   Prepare civil relationship records plus the principal worker’s passport, permit, employment, occupation, pay or PR-application records named by the current category.

4. 4

   In the spouse or family member’s own IRCC account, answer the live questions for the selected category and retain the resulting open-work-permit checklist.

5. 5

   Complete the forms factually, upload relationship and principal-person evidence, pay IRCC directly and retain the submission and later response records.

6. 6

   Read the issued open work permit for restrictions and expiry, compare its validity with the passport and principal person’s status and retain the decision.
