You can get an Open Work permit if you:

  • have a spouse who holds a Work Permit with at least 6 months and works in HIGH SKILLED positions in such NOCs as Noc 0, Noc A or Noc B
  • have a spouse or common-law partner who has a Study Permit in academic or vocational or professional programs in public Colleges or Universities or in Private institutions that confer a degree (Associate or Bachelor's or Master's degree).  Or student in CEGEP in Quebec. NOTE: Diplomas or Certificates from Private Institutions do not allow to get OWP.
  • Have a spouse who applied for Bridging Open Work Permit under Express Entry or PNP nomination
  • you are sponsored under Spouse or Common-Law partner in Canada class
