On January 30, 2019, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) extended the Open Work Permit (OWP) Pilot Program for Inland Spousal Sponsorship until July 31, 2020.
Generally, IRCC aims to issue a new OWP to the sponsored spouse or partner between 4 to 5 months. Upon receipt of the work permit, the holder of an OWP may work for any Canadian employer. The OWP is valid for 2 years or until the passport expires, whichever comes first.
See IRCC’s notice regarding the OWP Pilot Program for Inland Spousal Sponsorship.
