In the general elections held in Canada recently, the Liberal Party led by incumbent Prime Minister Justin Trudeau came to power again. In the last tenure of the Liberal Party government, they had implemented a number of programs and policies favourable for immigrants and international students. It is expected that the new government would also continue to take decisions favourable for the immigrants. Be it the Liberal Party or the opposing Conservative party or any other prominent party in Canada, all of them are of the view that immigration is crucial for the economic and social development of Canada.

As part of the elections, Liberal Party had made several promises that are aimed to promote immigration to Canada. One among these is the continued increase in immigration levels in a modest and reasonable manner. Another promise is getting rid of the application fee for Canada citizenship. At present the application fee for Canada citizenship is 630 dollars.

Low population growth and scarcity of skilled workers are the major issues being faced by Canada. So Canada promises a number of benefits to immigrants and their family members that include free public school education, free healthcare, pension and others. A person who immigrates to the country also enjoys almost all the rights enjoyed by Canadian citizens.

As per the current Immigration Levels Plan of Canada, the country plans to welcome almost 350000 immigrants by 2021. In the upcoming Immigration Plan for the period till 2022 that would be announced soon, almost the same number of immigrants is expected to be targeted.

Canada immigration and Provincial Nominee Programs :

There are a number of pathways for skilled foreign workers to migrate to Canada. The most popular among these is the federal Express Entry Program. But many of the immigration aspirants fail to meet the eligibility criteria for the Express Entry program. Provincial Nominee Programs are a good option for such immigration aspirants. Canadian provinces and territories have their own immigration programs. Those who wish to migrate to Canada can apply for the same through the provincial nominee program of their favourite Canadian province/territory. The most important advantage of provincial nominee programs is that they do not require a high Comprehensive Ranking System score (The score awarded to Express Entry candidates on the basis of a number of eligibility factors) to qualify. Candidates without an Express Entry profile can also apply through provincial nominee programs.

Canada is a country that gives the highest priority to families staying together. You can bring your spouse along to Canada when you come to the country on a study permit or a temporary skilled worker visa with the Canada open work permits for spouses. An open work permit is not job-specific, which means neither a Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) nor a job offer is necessary.

Who is eligible for an open work permit for a spouse?

You are eligible for an open work permit for spouse/ common-law partner if:

  • You are a dependent family member of someone who has applied for permanent residence in Canada.
  • You are the spouse or common-law partner of a skilled worker or international student
  • You are the spouse or common-law partner of an Atlantic Immigration Pilot applicant.

Eligibility requirements for an international student to obtain Canada open work permit for a spouse

The open work permit for a spouse or common-law partner allows your spouse or partner work full-time on or off the campus while you study. The spouse or partner can apply for an open work permit before or after they arrive in Canada. They do not need a job offer to apply for the permit. Spouse/partner work permit applications may sometimes be processed simultaneously with study permit applications.

In order to apply for an open work permit for a spouse or common-law partner, an international student must be a full-time student at a:

  • Public post-secondary school, which can be a college or university, or CEGEP in Quebec
  • private college-level school in Quebec or

While submitting the application for work permit, proof regarding the principal applicant’s current employment and duties as a skilled worker will have to be submitted. The work permit of the principal applicant will have to be valid for at least six months. Even if the principal applicant is authorized to work without a work permit, they will have to prove that they are working for a minimum of six months.

The validity of the open work permit for spouses or common-law partners will be the same as that of the study permit or work permit of the international student or skilled worker.
