A Spouse Open Work Permit is a type of work permit issued to the spouse or common-law partner of a foreign national who has been authorized to work in Canada on a work permit. This permit allows the spouse or partner to work for any employer without the need for a job offer or a Labor Market Impact Assessment. The spouse or partner can work in any occupation and for any duration, as long as their partner’s work permit remains valid. To apply for a Spouse Open Work Permit, the spouse or partner must submit a complete application, including proof of their relationship to the foreign national, and their partner’s valid work permit.
