Spouse BOWP and TRV stamp under CEC category

[PP323]

Hi There,

I have applied for PR under CEC category on Oct10th 2013, I am expecting my AOR to be received in another week. I have a question about my wife's BOWP and VISA.
As of now she is on (Live without pay) Dependent VISA and as per BOWP rules, I think I can apply BOWP for her as well (correct me if I am wrong).
Is she eligible to get Work Permit VISA stamp once she gets her BOWP (Because in order for her to get the Job she needs to go back to India and come again here on deputation, so she would need both work permit and VISA.)

Can someone please help?

Only the Principal Applicant (sounds like that's YOU) is eligible to apply for a BOWP.

You haven't said what your work permit status is, she might be eligible for a dependent's open work permit, depending on your status.

My Work Permit is still valid until Next month End.

I saw on the URL provided by you, what I understood from here is that if I am a principle applicant under CEC then spouse is eligible for BOWP too.

Spouse or Common-law Partner and Dependents

Certain conditions are required to be met by the holder of a Bridging WP, in order for their spouse to also be eligible for an open WP under R205(c)(ii).

In all cases the Bridging WP must be valid for longer than 6 months.

For spouses of Federal Skilled Worker Class applicants: the Bridging WP holder must be performing work which is at a level that falls within National Occupational Classification (NOC) Skill Levels 0, A or B.

For spouses of PNP applicants: the spouse is eligible for an open WP for the duration of the WP held by the principal PNP applicant, irrespective of the skill level of the principal PN applicant’s occupation.

For spouses of Federal Skilled Trades applicants: the Bridging WP holder must be performing work which is within one of the qualifying occupations in NOC Skill Level B.

For spouses of CEC applicants: there are no set preconditions to be met by the principal CEC applicant

No, it says that if you hold a BOWP, she is eligible for an Open WP (not a BOWP).

If you apply for a BOWP, your wife can also apply as a dependent for an open work permit; you can submit the applications together. It's just not a BOWP. Not a real difference, other than her permit is tied to yours (meaning , for example, she can't renew it unless you renew yours).

If you DON'T renew your work permit, she won't be eligible.
