Open work permit for protected person spouse ( outside canada)

[kumarkit]

Hi,

I'm under protected person status in Canada. As I checked this site, it says my spouse(outside Canada) can apply for open work permit.
Does anyone can share if you already applied or know about the procedures?

Thanks.

To the best of my knowledge your spouse would need to be inside of Canada to qualify and apply.

I am in Canada and my spouse outside, he applied for open work permit in 2021 and was rejected. Just sharing my experiences.

Your wife will not qualify for an OWP from outside Canada. Surprised to see you can apply while inside Canada but this may only be if the family is receiving welfare to get you off of welfare and financially self-sufficient If your spouse applies for an OWP from inside Canada you need to be prepared for both approval or refusal. Once she secured PR she will be able to come and work in Canada. She can attempt to get a TRV to try to visit while waiting for PR but the chances of approval are pretty low.

In reality most spouses must wait until their parter gets PR to join them in Canada which will take around 2 years. The protected person’s PR gets processed first and then the apouse’s application for PR gets processed after. When I see the recent interviews saying asylum are coming to Canada because there is quick reunifications with family members I wonder who is spreading this false information. People will be shocked when they discover the reality.

Only chance is putting her in your pr application, this is the dark side of refugee claim, no outside canada family until you get your pr status.
